‘Halfway To Paradise: The Birth Of British Rock’, an exhibition featuring photographs by Harry Hammond, is currently on display at the British Music Experience in London’s O2 Arena. Hammond was given unique access to many of the major stars in the Sixties, including the Beatles, Cliff Richard, Dusty Springfield and Shirley Bassey, and his pictures have an informal intimacy as he captures the celebrities relaxing backstage.
The exhibition of his work has been organised by the Victoria & Albert Museum, and runs until 27th November.
A related Photography Masterclass is also being hosted by the British Music Experience on Thursday 15th October. Leading music photographers Jill Furmanovsky, Mark Mawston and Philip Townsend will be taking part in a Q&A session and sharing their stories and experience.
