Oh, youth: 30 rare celebrity frames in his youth

Brad Elterman is a professional photographer from California. His first photo he published at the age of 16 and since then has not parted with the camera. The photo that helped him start his incredible career was the image of Bob Dylan from his concert in 1974.

Brad began to focus on the most frank. As the photographer admits, he was not a fan of rock'n'roll, but he liked to shoot celebrities just behind the scenes, rather than doing general concert photos, as others did. "All these photos were alive, they told a real story and they were craved by many world magazines," adds the photographer.

And even after 40 years Elterman remains one of the most popular photographers, who does not change his style. Here are the most famous of his photographs, which made Brad famous.
