About this work

Elton John and Bernie Taupin photographed together by Barrie Wentzell on Hampstead Heath, London, in 1970.

The two had been introduced by a music publisher in 1967 and had already settled into the working method they would keep for decades: Taupin writing lyrics alone, the pianist setting them without discussion. 1970 was the year the partnership broke through, with the Elton John album and the American tour that followed.

Archival pigment print. Limited edition of 50. Hand-signed and numbered by Barrie Wentzell. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
