These placing portraits present the English rock band Pink Floyd throughout a Los Angeles photograph session in August 1968, capturing the basic 4‑piece lineup that will outline the group’s peak years: Nick Mason (left), David Gilmour (prime), Roger Waters (proper), and Richard Wright (backside heart).

Shot by photographer Michael Ochs, the band seems utterly wrapped in a single sheet of translucent pink plastic or material, a playful literal riff on their identify that completely fits the whimsical, experimental spirit of the psychedelic period.
Taken simply months after founding member Syd Barrett’s departure in April 1968—and as David Gilmour was moving into his position as lead guitarist—this shoot marks a key transitional second for the band. Although by no means used for an album cowl, these “Pink Floyd in Pink” pictures have turn out to be a number of the most iconic visible paperwork of the early put up‑Barrett interval.
