This is undoubtedly the first time you have ever seen these particular Miles Davis photos thanks to the online gallery called Rock Paper Photo. The company, headed by Madonna's manager Guy Oseary, is the world’s largest community of rare photography and pop culture fine art. It specializes in distributing unpublished, limited edition prints of iconic personalities, so it was fitting that its latest collection features one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time.
Rock Paper Photo collaborated with the Miles Davis Estate to get a hold of the exclusive photography, which was part of the archives at Sony's Columbia Records. However, Rock Paper Photo added bold touches to the photos with the use of typography that was inspired by Davis' music, quotes, signature and album designs.
