The photograph on the cover of transformer was a mistake, rock nudged the enlarger by accident while printing, he also done the Berlin album too. he took some great images of syd barrett too, another last of the great rock n roll photographers

Now I'm not saying you are wrong Paddy, but according to a Wiki page (and they are not always totally correct) there was a different reason which sounds more plausible.

'The cover art was from a Mick Rock photograph that inadvertently became over-exposed as he was printing it in the darkroom. Rock noticed the flaw but decided he liked the fortuitous effect enough to submit the image for the album cover.'
