Chet Baker 1954
Chet and Halima Baker
It was his love of music, particularly jazz, that inadvertently led William Claxton (1927-2008) to photography. He began his career shooting covers for a record company, creating intimate images of performers that expressed their anxiety, pain and bliss. Perhaps he is best known for his photos of young Chet Baker. A book of those photos, aptly titled Young Chet is available here.
