Daniel Kramer
Portrait of the photographer
Biography

At The Music Photo Gallery, we are proud to hold photographs printed, signed, and stamped by Daniel Kramer himself. Before his passing, Daniel entrusted us with these exceptional works, including rare vintage prints produced in his own darkroom during the early 1960s.

A master photographer and printer, Kramer left behind an extraordinary archive that remains largely unseen. While his collaboration with Bob Dylan brought him international recognition, his work extended far beyond music, documenting some of the most influential cultural figures of the twentieth century.

Since 2020, TMPG has proudly represented Daniel Kramer’s vintage archive, presenting his work at leading international photography fairs including Photo London and Paris Photo. Through exhibitions, fairs, and institutional projects, we remain committed to preserving and expanding the legacy of one of the most important photographic chroniclers of the 1960s.

In the artist's
own words
You don't know someone's changing the world until the world's been changed.
