Jim Marshall Keith Richards & Mick Jagger at Sunset Sound, 1972
Jim Marshall Keith Richards & Mick Jagger at Sunset Sound, Los Angeles 1972 Inside the Making of Rock History | Limited Edition Black-and-White Studio Photography
Captured in 1972 at the legendary Sunset Sound Studios, this powerful black-and-white photograph by Jim Marshall documents Keith Richards and Mick Jagger during the recording sessions for Exile on Main St.—one of the most influential albums in rock history.
Seen standing at the microphone inside the studio, Richards and Jagger appear fully immersed in the creative process—focused, collaborative, and stripped of performance theatrics. This is not the Rolling Stones as spectacle, but as craftsmen: refining vocals, shaping lyrics, and pushing sound forward in an atmosphere charged with intensity and experimentation.
Marshall, the only photographer granted unrestricted access to the sessions, captures the rare chemistry between the band’s two creative pillars. The restrained lighting and candid composition emphasize body language and interaction, revealing the trust and tension that fueled the Stones’ artistic peak. The photograph stands as a visual counterpart to the raw, unfiltered sound that would come to define Exile on Main St.
Far removed from the stage and public eye, the image offers collectors a privileged glimpse into rock ’n’ roll creation at its most authentic. It is a document of partnership, process, and legacy one that transcends music photography to become a cultural artifact.
Studio CT proudly presents this photograph as a limited-edition archival print, produced to museum standards to preserve its tonal depth, clarity, and historical importance.
A cornerstone acquisition for collectors of Rolling Stones , Jim Marshall photography, or landmark moments in music history, this piece is available for private viewing at Studio CT in Agoura Hills, California.
