Pennie Smith.

Pennie Smith is probably the greatest music photographer of all time. Most of her work is shot in black and white. Her first major photographic commission was to photograph Led Zeppelin's 1970's tour for NME magazine. Since then she has photographed some of the biggest names in rock music and taken some of it's most iconic shots. Her shot of Clash bassist Paul Simonon smashing his bass in New York in 1979 became the cover of the bands album London Calling and in 2002 was voted the greatest rock and roll photograph of all time by Q magazine. She is based in London and still works to this day. But enough of what I have to say, look at the photos.
