Woodstock 1969

I went to Woodstock in 1969 when I was 20 & took a few photographs. I returned home to the NJ suburbs, processed the film, filed the contact sheet, and promptly forgot about it. 56 years later, I looked at those shots & found this one. All my fond memories of those 3 magical days came flooding back!

About Artist

Robin Schwartz

‬ ‭ Robin is a photographer who has been shooting female and male nudes in NYC, London, and New‬ Jersey, where she and her husband currently live. In the early 1970s, after graduating from NYU with‬ a BFA in Film & Television, she entered the predominantly male profession of photography. She‬ hadn’t set out to do nudes, but a young model showed up at the doorstep of her Manhattan studio‬ with a dilemma and a request. She had been selected to do a layout and cover for a major men’s‬ magazine. However, the male photographer who was assigned to shoot it would only agree if she‬ had sex with him. The model felt she would be “safe” with Robin, and a career of shooting nudes‬ ‭ was born. After moving to London in 1977 and traveling and working throughout Europe, she was‬ exposed to a much freer sensibility towards nudity and eroticism. She loved the work of Helmut‬ Newton and Jeanloup Sieff, featuring high contrast black and white images. Robin sold her first print‬ at a solo show called “Naughty Bits” in NYC.‬
