AL SATTERWHITE

Al Satterwhite began his photographic career in the 1960s, documenting the social and political upheaval of the era alongside the emerging worlds of music, art and counterculture. Working as both a photojournalist and portrait photographer, he photographed civil rights leaders, anti-war demonstrations and many of the defining musicians and cultural figures of his generation.

Throughout his career, Satterwhite produced iconic portraits of artists including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Marley, Andy Warhol and Muhammad Ali. His photographs have appeared in leading international publications and are held in museum and private collections, securing his place as one of the most distinctive visual chroniclers of American culture in the second half of the twentieth century.

I photographed Hunter S. Thompson on the island of Cozumel, Mexico, in March, 1974, sitting on the seawall at El Presidente Hotel before being interviewed for the November 1974 Playboy Magazine. Hunter would usually wake up around 11 a.m., we'd work on the interview for a couple hours, and then head into town for the rest of the day. - Al Satterwhite

Muhammad Ali at the 5th Street Gym in Miami Beach while training for his October 1970 bout with Jerry Quarry. Ali would go on to defeat Quarry in three rounds. The first two were very competitive, before Ali opened a deep cut over Quarry's left eye, forcing the judge to stop the fight.
