An extraordinary collection of photographs of the legendary Joni Mitchell, captured by celebrated rock-and-roll photographer Norman Seeff.

Joni: The Joni Mitchell Sessions is the ultimate celebration of a visionary musician and the artist who captured her spirit on film.

It is a creative partnership that has lasted for over 40 years. Joni Mitchell, the artist behind celebrated hits โ€œHelp Meโ€ and โ€œBig Yellow Taxi,โ€ and Norman Seeff, a rock-and-roll photographer with a host of legendary subjects in his portfolio, did some of their best work together. Joni was a truly authentic subject, able to surrender herself to the art and express herself freely within his lens. Through over a dozen sessions across more than a decade together, the photographer captured the many facets of her personality in some of her most famous images.

Joni: The Joni Mitchell Sessions is the culmination of their partnership. Timed to release on Joniโ€™s 75th birthday, this collection of familiar and rare imagery tracks the pairโ€™s history together through these exclusive moments captured on film. A combination of album artwork and candid shots reveals Joniโ€™s personality in ways few have managed to capture before or since. Featuring commentary from Seeff on the enlightenment into his art that he gained from their sessions, this compilation is a true reflection on mutual creativity between artist and muse.
