Astrid Kircherr, the German photographer who befriended the Beatles during their time in Hamburg, passed away on May 13, 2020 at age 81.
She became the band's photographer in the early days. Here are some of her more well-known photos:
Pete Best, George, John, Paul, Stu Sutcliffe
Stu and John
Stu and Paul
During the Beatles' first trip to Hamburg, she and their early-bassist Stu Sutcliffe became romantically involved. He quit the band to remain in Germany with her.
Kircherr also suggested the hairstyle that the Beatles came to wear beginning around 1960. Previously, they looked like the photos above.
