This week's photographer spotlight draws attention to the work of Henry Grossman.

Grossman was able to capture decades worth of history in hundreds of iconic shots.
He is a well known portrait artist who photographed everyone from the Kennedys to the Beatles.
Grossman actually photographed the Beatles extensively between 1964 and 1968. According to his website, "Henry enjoyed unprecedented access and was invited into the Beatles' homes to photograph them informally with their friends and families."

He published two limited edition books that focused solely on his work with the Beatles:
"Kaleidoscope Eyes" which documented one evening of recording the Sergeant Pepper album at the Abbey Road studios" and "Places I Remember" which consisted of more than 1,000 mostly unpublished Beatles pictures.
"Places I Remember" completely sold out within a few months of its release date.
I recently saw a piece on CBS's "60 Minutes" featuring Henry Grossman.
In the segment, he speaks in his own words about his experiences and his photographs.
Check out a snippet of the piece in the video below.
