BIOGRAPHY
At the
request of Johnny Rotten, Dennis Morris became the first official
photographer of the Sex Pistols, upon signing to Virgin Records.
He was 18. During the band's most formidable year, 1977, they
had just one official photographer who documented and consequently
defined this pivotal era: Dennis Morris. He rapidly established
their public image, and himself as one of the most exciting music
photographers in the country.
He has since
exhibited in the UK, Japan, and Canada, and worked for Rolling
Stone, Time, People, Q, The Guardian, The Times, amongst others,
and continues to photograph the leading musicians of the time
such as Bush, Oasis, and The Prodigy. Previous publications include
Bob Marley A Rebel Life, and he contributed to Century.
