Rare Radiohead photographs to go on display in London
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 11 August 2016
A collection of portraits of Radiohead taken by photographer Sebastian Edge is to be exhibited at Metropolis Studios in London this autumn. Used to promote the band’s ‘King Of Limbs’ album in 2011, the pictures were taken using techniques from the late 1800s.
“In January 2011, I received a call from Radiohead HQ”, Edge tells The Line Of Best Fit. “They’d heard about a photographer that was making pictures with this early Victorian process, with a camera built from Hurricane timber, and wondered if I was still making pictures, having disappeared from the music scene for a while”.
He continues: “Within a few weeks I arrived at their studio and spent two separate days making the pictures for their ‘King Of Limbs’ campaign. A day in the woods and a day at their studio. Colin, loved it, being a photographer himself. And after a while I think they realised these weren’t just photos, they are works of hard crafted art and as analogue and as hands on as it could possibly get!”
The exhibition will be open to the public from 14 Oct at Metropolis Studios, with a private viewing the night before.
