“Bob Marley was really difficult to shoot. He was almost in a trance, dancing like a shaman. His locks were thrashing around. It didn't make it easier that I was standing chest-deep in a lake at the time. I got down to my last shot, the 37th frame on my last roll of film and waited – and just managed to capture it all at the right moment. There have been a few times over the years when, just as you click the shutter, you feel that you’ve got it. This was one of them. I was 20, just starting, and I’d only done a dozen jobs. I wouldn’t have known at the time he was ill.” David Corio
