Respect The Shooter: Mike Lerner Speaks On Shooting Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, & More

Paul McCartney

“This shot of Paul McCartney was taken in Las Vegas. I was commissioned by Clear Channel to shoot all of the backstage action during the iHeartRadio Festival. On the way to the stage, Paul’s security warned me of his “no photography” rule, but some photographers didn’t listen and shot anyway. I said “fuck it” and waited until Paul’s set was over, and on his way out I took some photos. I am a HUGE Beatles fan so this was a big moment for me.”
