This past Sunday, 60 Minutes featured Norman's incredible career and his iconic images. Now, Network Entertainment announced ‘The Sessions Project," a multi-part, multi-season television series documenting Norman Seeff’s celebrated photo sessions with the world’s most iconic personalities and celebrity subjects from music, movies, sports, TV and comedy including Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Steve Jobs, Martin Scorsese, John Travolta, Joni Mitchell and more.

“Early on I realized that to accomplish the vitality and authenticity I was looking for in my photographs required a new approach” Norman Seeff said.

“So I created the photo session as a laboratory for these iconic artists to explore their creativity, and captured it all on film.”
