Throughout his decades-long career, photographer Guy Webster has captured some of the most iconic figures in music, film and politics – from the Rolling Stones to Dean Martin to Bill Clinton – during their prime. His work was recently collected for the book Big Shots: Rock Legends and Hollywood Icons, The Photography of Guy Webster, which was released in October via Insight Editions. 

Check out some of the collection's most striking images – along with Webster's own commentary – in this eclectic gallery, which includes an early Jack Nicholson headshot, a quirky photo of James Coburn inspired by the great Renaissance painters and Jim Morrison's moody gaze on the Doors' first LP cover.
