Steve Rapport

"I mean, to me, that's got everything in it. And it's got a little bit of menace. He's still got the cigarette. He's still chewing on the cigarette. But the one eye squinting a little bit, just the way he's holding the cigarette, he's got the Lemmy mutton chops. The only thing missing is, you can't see the button that, 'I'm the person your mother warned you about.' But I love that picture. It's right in your face. That expression is just all Lemmy."

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.
