Back in 2007, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Thriller, Michael Jackson granted an interview to Ebony for its December 2007 issue. It was quite a coup for Ebony—this would be Jackson’s first U.S. interview and magazine story in a decade.
Ebony chose Matthew Rolston to photograph the cover story, a shoot for which the King of Pop selected the Brooklyn Museum of Art as the setting. Jackson wanted to be photographed in a space “where art lives on forever,” recalls Ebony editor Harriet Cole in a recent interview with Dateline.
In the segment, Matthew also reflects on what is now a historic photo shoot. “Michael would perform a photograph as much as a song or a dance,” Matthew tells Dateline. “And with great joy, great style. Tremendous style.”
