Autorenporträt
William Claxton (1927 - 2008) begann seine Karriere mit dem Fotografieren für Jazzplatten-Cover. Seine Aufnahmen von Chet Baker, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday und vielen mehr haben mittlerweile Kultstatus und machen deutlich, warum Claxton seit mehr als fünf Jahrzehnten als der herausragende Jazzfotograf gilt. Aufträge erhielt er von vielen der größten Verlagshäuser, z.B. von Magazine Life, Paris Match und Vogue. Claxtons Arbeiten werden weltweit in Galerien ausgestellt und die Sammler von Kunstfotografien reißen sich um Abzüge seiner Fotos. Er starb am 11. Oktober 2008 in seiner Heimatstadt Los Angeles.
