Steve Rapport

"I think the set has everything. The fact that the story and the photos go together so closely. Here's my memory of him sitting behind the desk. Here's a picture that adds a bit of flavor to what was going on. And then getting to the bottom of the stairs, top of the stairs, him looking out, him looking across Chalk Farm. And then the closeup. I just love the fact that they're very full of character. They're full of life. He's kind of self-aware and not precious about himself, about his image or anything. He's just 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.
