Beyond thrilled to welcome one of the most iconic music photographers in the world, Kevin Cummins. Kevin put the Manchester music scene on the map, capturing bands like the Buzzcocks, Joy Division, New Order, and The Smiths. As the head photographer at NME for over 25 years, Kevin created an era for Manchester, blending his signature black and white shots with niche locations throughout the city. Over the last decade, his work has been featured in the National Portrait Gallery in London, the V&A Museum, and he’s released several incredible books, including “Manchester: Looking for the Light through the Pouring Rain”. Kevin also recently collaborated with Noah NYC on a t-shirt line! We talked about his commute all over the UK to hit a deadline, seeing Madonna perform in front of 15 people, and why he and Ian Astbury got arrested in Texas. Huge thanks to Steve at Modern Rocks Gallery in Austin TX, who is curating an opening for Kevin Cummins on 9/28 called “But I remember When We Were Young”. The exhibit runs 9/28-11/2.
