NEWNHAM-based painter and photographer Keith Baugh has received worldwide recognition for his iconic photographs of music legend Bob Dylan.

Now, the Nobel Prize winner in Literature has chosen one of Keith’s photographs for the Deluxe Edition of his new eight-CD release ‘Trouble No More’, the latest chapter from the Bob Dylan Original Bootleg recordings showcasing the ‘Gospel Years’ 1979 to1981.

The album contains over 100 previously unreleased live and studio recordings, a one hour dvd and a hardback book of photographs and related memorabilia.

Bob Dylan is notoriously difficult to photograph. Accredited music and press photographers are banned from all Bob Dylan concerts.

Keith explained that he overcomes strict concert security restrictions by using well-honed techniques. If you are determined to get up close to Bob Dylan the procedure takes a lot of planning, coupled with large dollops of bravado, courage, audacity, moral fibre and a lot of nerve.

As Dylan would say ‘You Gotta Lotta Nerve’.

Keith’s photographic prints of Bob Dylan have recently been exhibited in galleries in Bristol, London and Paris.

Keith has been listening to the new release over the past couple of days and said: “There is burning passion and conviction in Bob Dylan’s performance in everything I’ve heard so far.

Bob Dylan was also famously photographed on the banks of the River Severn at Aust while waiting for the ferry to arrive from Beachley that was featured in the film No Direction Home.
