      1966, während ihrer kurzen Anstellung als Rezeptionistin bei Town and Country, erlangte Linda Eastman einen Presseausweis für ein exklusives PR-Event der Rolling Stones auf einer Jacht am Hudson River. Mit ihren frischen, natürlichen Fotos der Band, die die steifen Bilder des offiziellen Fotografen übertrafen, etablierte sie sich als Rock-’n‘-Roll-Fotografin. Zwei Jahre später, im Mai 1968, machte sie Geschichte, als ihr Porträt von Eric Clapton als erste weibliche Fotografin auf dem Cover von Rolling Stone erschien. Linda fotografierte zahlreiche bedeutende Musiker wie Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix und Bob Dylan. 1967 zog sie nach London, um die „Swinging Sixties“ festzuhalten, und lernte Paul McCartney im Club Bag O’Nails kennen. Ihre Liebe führte zur Hochzeit am 12. März 1969. In den folgenden drei Jahrzehnten widmete sie sich ihrer Familie, ihrer Fotografie und dem Einsatz für Vegetarismus und Tierrechte. Ihre Aufnahmen reichen von Familienschnappschüssen bis zu Studioaufnahmen mit Stars wie Stevie Wonder und Michael Jackson. Lindas Werke strahlen Wärme aus und fangen den Wesenskern ihrer Subjekte ein, stets unprätentiös und authentisch. Diese Retrospektive ist ein persönliches Zeugnis ihres Schaffens, entstanden in enger Zusammenarbeit mit ihrer Familie, einschließlich einleitender Texte von Paul, Stella und Mary McCartney.
