Rowland Scherman

Rowland Scherman began taking pictures in New York in 1958, when he was an apprentice at the LIFE darkroom. In 1961, a 24-year old freelancer, he served as the first photographer for the Peace Corps. Scherman traveled the world for the newly-formed organization, helping to give the Peace Corps its image. Scherman has done covers and photojournalism for LIFE, Time, Newsweek, Paris Match, Playboy, and National Geographic.

In 1964 he covered the First Beatles concert in the US, won a Grammy Award in 1968 for an album cover for Bob Dylan, and in 1969 was voted Photographer of the Year by the Washington Art Director's Association.

Scherman now lives on Cape Cod.
