Bruce Springsteen Photographer Looks Back on 40 Years of Shooting the Singer
Frank Stefanko discusses some of the now-legendary images collected in his new book 'Further Up the Road'

Portrait, Colts Neck, New Jersey, 2017
Here we're talking almost 40 years. We did this whole series up at Colts Neck just last April and I asked him for that session to finish the book. He knew it was going to be for the book. He was on tour, and then he was in Australia, and then he was at the White House. We finally pinned him down and we're getting on deadline. He said, "Can you come up Monday?" I said, "I know you're busy as hell, just give me an hour or so, and I'll get everything I need." He was gracious. We did some inside stuff and outside stuff, and stuff with his guitars. Some of the shots I got very close and we did these portraits. It shows the fact that he's not a child anymore. But my God, the character in that face is magnificent. I was really happy with this 2017 shooting session up at Colts Neck.
