Steve Rapport

"I think Lemmy was pretty natural. I might have suggested, 'Hey, can you just sit there for a minute? That looks really good. Can you stop for a minute?' But in general, looking at the pictures, I mean, that's all Lemmy, really. I'm good at the composition. So the one where he's sitting at the top of the skylight, I love the composition on that. And I like the angles. The one where he's like this at the top, I love that."

Rock 'n' roll photographer Steve Rapport has captured some of the UK's most pivotal rock moments spanning the years 1980-1994. Steve left the UK and headed for the San Francisco Bay Area in June 1992, and has lived there ever since. Meanwhile, his photo archive lived in filing cabinets in his friend Rod's garage in Oxfordshire, England until the end of 2017, when photos and photographer were finally reunited.

These days Steve can usually be found at his (mostly) rock 'n' roll gallery in New Orleans, which showcases all of his artwork, plus his various magazines, photozines and note cards.
