’Photography followed Wyman into his music career (“I find photography and music similar mathematically,” he says) and once the Stones’ career took off, he was regularly shooting his bandmates and his famous friends. He has now compiled some of these photos into a new folio, Stones From the Inside: Rare and Unseen Images — out now from ACC Art Books — which contains snaps stretching from the Sixties into the late Eighties.' -- The Rolling Stones Magazine
