Genesis cover photography

Forty years ago on August 8th, 1 1: 35, four Beatles crossed the zebra crossing on Abbey Road in north London. The photo of them crossing the zebra crossing was taken for their new album Abbey Road, and the mastermind behind it was the studio Abbey Road, which used to get along with each other day and night. It only took 10 minutes to shoot the cover-Ian Macmillan, the photographer standing on the ladder, took only six photos in total.

Since then, it has become one of the most iconic covers in history. There are two reasons for this. One is that no album cover has spawned so many imitations, and the other is that no album has produced so many conspiracy theories like it.
