Ross Halfin – Made of Metal Photography Gallery in London
A new exhibition, Made of Metal, at Proud Galleries in London, displays more than 50 of famous photographer Ross Halfin’s images taken over the last 30 years. This parade of leather, sweat and long hair includes AC/DC live shots from the days when Bon Scott was still the band’s frontman; images from Halfin’s long associations with both METALLICA, LED ZEPPELIN and MOTORHEAD
“I became Mr Rock by accident,” he says. In the mid-1970s, Halfin was an art college student who used to take his camera along to whatever gig he was attending.
In addition to recording the end of an era, Halfin has documented the dawning of careers, taking the first image-defining studio photographs of badass LA crew GUNS N’ ROSES and spotting the rock-star potential of JON BON JOVI after meeting him in the mid-1980s at a MOTLEY CRUE gig. Halfin even describes the ‘current’ Axl Rose as nothing more than a “silly old man”
Made of Metal, is at Proud Central, London, until September 2nd. To read the entire article about Halfin’s history, as well as his exhibit, head to Scotsman.com.
