Jay Blakesberg is a San Francisco-based photographer, filmmaker and public speaker whose work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Relix and countless other publications. Since first starting to document life with a camera in 1978 at age 16, he has worked with countless musical artists, including Neil Young, Radiohead, Phish, Joni Mitchell, The Flaming Lips, Tom Waits, the Rolling Stones, Carlos Santana, the Grateful Dead, and of course... Michael Franti, to name just a few. This past summer, Jay released his 16th coffee table book called RetroBlakesberg, and in the fall of 2022, his photography will be exhibited over four galleries at the Morris Museum, New Jersey’s only Smithsonian Affiliate.
