Henry Diltz is our latest guest on Too Late with Dave.

During a break on a whistle-stop tour of Germany celebrating ‘The Spirit of Woodstock', we sat down with Henry to discuss his work. It’s impossible to cover all of Henry’s photography in such a short time so we picked a few  of the legendary album covers he was responsible for and the stories behind them.

Filmed at the Limelight Gallery, Frankfurt.

This week’s guest on Too Late with Dave is Perou, creative director and master photographer of people: sports stars, actors, musicians, politicians, models and ordinary folks living extraordinary lives. Perou talks openly about his love of connecting to what makes people and the world they occupy unique. Along with insights into his creative process, we hear tales of shoots gone awry and ones that have produced award-winning imagery. From a chaotic night with Courtney Love, getting snarled at by Justin Bieber’s dad and asking Nigel Farage to eat worms. From his beginnings in the fetish scene to his many personal projects, documenting underpasses to his fear of clowns to name a few. Perou’s career is as varied and ambitious as his imagination.

In the middle of a global pandemic, Perou’s book, 'Marilyn Manson by Perou: 21 years in Hell' was published by Reel Art Press and became an instant best seller and sold out worldwide.
