Jorgen Angel (born in 1951 in Copenhagen, Denmark) has been a music industry photographer from the late sixties to the eighties. He started shooting rock stars as a schoolboy - with his mother's holiday camera. It was then that he made his famous photos of the very first performance by Led Zeppelin.

Since then, Jorgen has provided photos for innumerable magazines, album covers, books and television programs. He has taken photos all over Scandinavia, Great Britain and the United States – at concerts, press receptions, exclusive sessions or on the road with the bands.

Jorgen’s art has its strength in the warm relation he developed with the objects of his photography. He would follow his work to obscure striptease shows with Alice Cooper, at the private homes of bands like The Who, Roxy Music, Pretty Things and Uriah Heep, or go with Arthur Brown to the countryside to get his much appreciated photographs.
