RICK SPRINGFIELD’s Photographer JAY GILBERT To Release Coffee Table Book Spanning 20 Years Of Work

Longtime photographer for Rick Springfield, Jay Gilbert, will be releasing his first-ever coffee table book to celebrate his work with the artist.

Burning Film: Rick Springfield Through The Lens presents a comprehensive photographic documentation of Rick Springfield from 2005 to 2025, showcasing his dynamic stage performances and studio work through the camera lens.

The book will be available exclusively as part of the deluxe edition of Rick Springfield’s Big Hits: Greatest Hits, Vo.. 2, which is due out February 14, 2025. Pre-orders are available here.

“This is a collection of shots taken by my good friend and permanent-owner of-an-RSpress-pass, Jay Gilbert. Jay has taken pretty much all the photos you’ve seen of moi in the last 20 years and these are quite a few of them.” – Rick Springfield

“I had so much fun going back through the archives of over 60,000 photos I’ve shot of Rick in the studio, in concert and on location to present the 200 or so images for the book. They align perfectly with the music on his upcoming Big Hits – Rick Springfield’s Greatest Hits, Volume 2.” – Jay Gilbert

Big Hits: Rick Springfield’s Greatest Hits, Volume 2 will be released February 14 via SING (distributed by Symphonic/AMPED Distribution). It is the latest career-spanning retrospective chronicling his more recent recording output from 1999’s Karma through his most recent new album, 2023’s Automatic. It will include the just announced brand new single, which is only available on this compilation.

Springfield remarks on the package, “The GH 2 is more a fan favorite songs album. The albums I have made in the past 20 years I think are the best work I've done musically.”
