Take a Picture of This - Part Two

In the spring of 2012, Jimmy Page made five portraits available for sale as fine art prints. Today, JimmyPage.com made another five prints available. Fair warning Christmas shoppers, once again, they are not cheap.

The five photographs, by Chris Dreja, Janet Macoska, Neal Preston, Tony DeFilippis and Claude Gassian, retail for £1,000 each - although the Macoska print of Page in 1977, strolling towards the camera with sunglasses on is sold out. A portfolio set of all five, limited to 10 sets, is also available for £7,000.
