In 1983, photographer Lynn Goldsmith captured several notable images of comedian and actor Eddie Murphy. One prominent photograph features Murphy dressed in jeans, a white shirt, and a red necktie, playfully pointing his fingers at the camera. Another portrait from the same year shows him in a full-length pose, wearing a black leather jacket and black pants, looking over his shoulder at the camera.
Additionally, Goldsmith’s photograph of Murphy seated at a white piano has been featured on postcards. Goldsmith also provided the cover photo for Murphy’s 1983 comedy album, Eddie Murphy: Comedian. Reflecting on their collaboration, Goldsmith mentioned that Murphy often requested her for his photography needs during that period.
“I loved working with him and did most of the photography he needed for a few years as he always asked for me when a magazine was doing a story or if he had an album or a tv special,” said Goldsmith. “I think he was super impressed that Rick James used me for all his photography, he adored Rick. In 1984, I was on a job for Life magazine and Eddie wanted me to leave it to do a shoot for him. I didn’t. After that he never worked with me again! I’m sure he’s grown more mature since those days and I will always feel appreciative of the times he chose me to me to work with him. I love the guy. I hope he’s as happy as he’s made so many!”
