Among the album covers he shot are Queen’s Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack, Lou Reed’s Transformer and Coney Island Baby, Joan Jett’s I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll and Album, Iggy and the StoogesRaw Power and the RamonesEnd of the Century.

Debbie Harry, Syd Barrett, Miley Cyrus, Ozzy Osbourne, Janelle Monae and Snoop Dogg were also among his famous subjects.
