Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64 at the National Portrait Gallery review: a candid trip inside Beatlemania

While a thousand cameras were trained on Paul McCartney at the sides of a dozen stages at this weekend’s Glastonbury Festival, the National Portrait Gallery was preparing an extensive glimpse through the other end of the lens.

Over 250 Pentax 35mm photographs the Beatles legend took in the four months between November 1963 and February 1964 – just as their star ascended at home and Beatlemania struck America – have been selected for the Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64 exhibition.
