The Beatles by photographer Robert Whitaker.

This formal photo shoot image is fondly known as 'Umbrella'. The Beatles are depicted holding two large striped umbrellas on the banks of Loch Earn in Perthshire, Scotland, on the October 20, 1964. Inspired by surrealist aesthetics, spurred by his interest in Dalí, Whitaker and the four Beatles co-composed the image

Robert Whitaker recalls "All four were very inventive and spontaneous. I asked them to jump up on the wall. They grabbed these umbrellas, and then John .... well, look at him in that photo. He's levitating".
