Rock music fans will be interested to hear that a new exhibition is landing at Proud Galleries which will feature an iconic collection of rock legends from over two extraordinary decades.

Access All Areas: Photographs by Paul Harries will feature portraits of Nirvana, Slash, Metallica, Slipknot, Muse and more, all of which are injected with Harries' unmistakable style and creativity.

Harries' collection, which features images from the 1990's to present day, offers a captivating glimpse into all aspects of the Rock ‘n’ Roll lifestyle, featuring live photographs of Nirvana during sell-out performances, candid shots of Slash and Ozzy Osbourne and a series of photo-manipulated images including an iconic photograph of Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson in a replica WW1 plane.

From a young age, Harries had always been fascinated by live music and decided to incorporate this with his increasing passion for photography, shooting live gigs at the legendary Marquee Club. He has said that: "I was always hugely interested in music and because I couldn’t sing or play any instrument, photographing the bands was the perfect way to be involved." Harries’ career took a turn when he was introduced by a friend to Kerrang! Magazine to which he has contributed as one of the leading lensmen of rock photography since 1989.

Granted unparalleled access to the biggest names in rock history on set, backstage and in studios across the globe, Harries’ photographs have an unrivalled depth and atmosphere. The theatrical, visual energy of rock is perfectly matched to his dynamic and cinematic style, capturing performers who have a unique stage presence and play up to the camera.
