Talent recognizes talent. That’s what happened when Bob Marley met Dennis Morris, who was just 16 at the time, in 1974, taking the young photographer on the road and encouraging the younger man’s career forward as his own was taking flight. This image is from the Natty Dread cover shoot, one of the first of countless shoots the two would embark on together. —LargeUp
