  On a private lake in Westlake Village, Michael Jackson, not yet 19, was relaxed, smiling and polite as he and his brothers chatted on the dock and tooled around on an electric boat during a daylong photo shoot.
  Having just left Motown and begun a new relationship with Epic Records, the Jackson 5 music group was preparing for the release of its first album on Epic, titled “Destiny.”
  “They were very excited about a new level of their career, new opportunities,” photographer Gregg Cobarr recalls of the Jackson brothers — and little sister Janet, making her public debut at the shoot — on that warm summer day in 1978.
  Hired by Epic for the promotional shoot, Cobarr had done countless others like it for music industry clients including Columbia, Epic and Capitol Records, RCA, Curb and Warner Bros. — yet, 31 years later, Cobarr still can recall details about the day, and about the very special young man he encountered in Michael Jackson.
  “He had such a kind, sensitive, fun and charismatic nature,” Cobarr said. “It made a lasting impression.”
  A few of the photos from that day were used in promotional materials, but the vast majority never saw the light of day — until now.
  Teaming with Camarillo-based Fine Art Management Corp., Cobarr, who now lives near San Luis Obispo, has chosen to make a number of rare photos from that shoot available for online viewing and purchase.
  In addition, Cobarr has an exhibit of the photos up at the David W. Streets Beverly Hills gallery. Up since July 8, the solo exhibit will remain open through mid-August in the Contem-porary Art & Photography wing of the gallery at 9411 S. Santa Monica Blvd.
  Online, prints start at $25; limited-edition exhibit posters signed by the photographer also are available through Fine Art Management.
  The photos “pretty much have not been released for the public to see,” Cobarr said in an interview Wednesday. “They’ve certainly never been available for people to buy.”
  To those who question his motives, Cobarr responds: “I think people would think, ‘Oh look, they’re opportunists,’ but it’s not that at all. I want people to see the real Michael. They don’t know this Michael existed. They only relate to contemporary images.
  “The way the media got hold of him and twisted so many things about him ” Cobarr said, “I wanted to let people see what I saw just this nice, gentle soul.”

  The Jackson Brothers by Gregg Cobarr

  Fine Art Management Corp. Publishes Unreleased Photos Of Michael Jackson Taken During a 1978 Photo Shoot In Westlake Village, Calif.

   

  Camarillo, CA – July 7, 2009—With the recent passing of Michael Jackson, Fine Art Management Corporation, along with noted Celebrity Photographer Gregg Cobarr, are set to release rare photographs of Michael Jackson with sister Janet and brothers– Jackie, Marlon, Tito and Randy– taken during a two-day photo shoot in August 1978 in Westlake Village and Los Angeles, Calif. These photos will be available to the public for the first time through http://www.FineArtManagementNews.com.

   

  Gregg Cobarr joined forces with Ira Shore, Owner and CEO of Fine Art Management Corporation in Camarillo, Calif. to distribute these photos to the public. Cobarr selected FAMC to distribute his prized photographs to the public because of FAMC’s reputation and previous high-profile projects with The Muhammad Ali Center, Disney Fine Art, among others.

   

  “I decided to release the photos to the public for the first time now because I wanted people to see the ‘real’ Michael as I knew him from the photo sessions,” said Cobarr.  “He had such a kind, sensitive, fun and charismatic nature. The public has never seen most of these photos and they have never, ever been offered for sale to the public.”

   

  The photographs were taken prior to the release of The Jackson’s first album “Destiny” with their new record label, Epic Records to be used for the albums advertising and publicity.

   

  “Gregg Cobarr’s catalog of photographs of numerous Pop and Rock celebrities uniquely capture candid close-up’s moments in time. He takes the time to get to know his subjects and these relationships are clearly reflected in his work,” said Shore “We are excited to be working with Gregg and share his work with the world.”

   

  Gregg Cobarr has over thirty years of professional experience with such music industry clients as Columbia and Epic Records, Capitol, RCA, Curb and Warner Bros. In the TV and film industry, he has worked with 20th Century Fox and Columbia Pictures. Gregg’s work has been published both nationally and internationally, and recently he presented Master Classes to International Photo Affairs in Europe.

   

  Founded in 1993 by Ira Shore, Fine Art Management Corporation offers management services and business expertise in art marketing and distribution, artist representation, art brokerage, licensing services, and cruise venue art auction coordination.
