CURRENT WORK

What Presence! The Rock Photography of Harry Papadopoulos.
Exhibition at Street Level Photoworks until 25th February 2012.

Harry began his photographic career in his Glasgow home town, standing outside the Apollo, flogging gig-goers newly-developed shots from bands' Edinburgh shows the night before. Harry's impulse to guerilla lensmanship swiftly drew him to London: from 1979 to 1984 he was a staff photographer for the music weekly Sounds, providing countless front covers. During those five years, Harry's photographs covered the post-punk waterfront, from Blondie to David Bowie; the Associates to Devo by way of Joy Division, Bryan Ferry, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Birthday Party, The Cramps, The Clash, Altered Images, Penetration, The Specials and Suicide.

For the show I assisted staff in identifying hundreds of artists and bands from Harry's vast archive of negatives. In addition I designed the exhibition catalogue for which I also contributed an article about running a cassette label from 1982 - 84. I also designed a set of four posters and retouched a number of prints for two sets of postcards to mark the exhibition.

I'll be taking part in a discussion panel in conjunction with the exhibition.
