Beastie Boys and Unisphere at Corona Park by Sunny Bak.
Like the Beastie Boys, Sunny grew up in New York City. Interestingly enough, she began her career as a photographer while still a teenager. Sunny was closest with Adam Yauch and Dave Scilken, who she met up with around 1984. At the time, she was taking interns from Adrock's high school in her studio. It just so happened that Dave Scilken turned out to be one of them.
For some odd reason, Sunny isn't the household name amongst Beastie Boys fans that other Licensed to Ill era photographers are. Names like Glen Friedman and Ricky Powell are often associated with the band, yet it was Sunny's photography that was chosen to be the centerpiece for the album's gatefold inner-cover. Sunny also is credited for having taken shots of the Beastie Boys that ended up as public relations photos, t-shirts, and posters. Much of 1987 Licensed to Ill Tour Book was her creation. Also, the "Fight for Your Right to Party" music video was actually filmed at her old studio in Manhattan. Here is a little piece of trivia: all of the stuff in the video belonged to her.
