In early 1964, photographer Harry Benson was on his way to Africa for a foreign assignment when he got a call from The Daily Express that would change his life’s work forever. His new assignment? Travel to Paris with the Beatles to document the ensuing #Beatlemania that was quickly sweeping the world.
