Kevin Cummins is a British rock music photographer best known for photographs of rock bands and musicians including Ian Curtis, Morrissey, The Stone Roses, Oasis, and Björk. After studying photography for four years in Salford, Kevin embarked on a career that was to encompass a wide range of photographic work. The burgeoning punk scene in Manchester dominated his early work and he quickly became one of the premier documentary photographers of the era, and is responsible for the defining images of many of the city’s seminal bands.
In 1993, Björk was at a pivotal moment in her career. It marked the transition from her role as the lead singer of the Icelandic band The Sugarcubes to her emergence as a groundbreaking solo artist. This year, she released her debut solo album, Debut, which established her as a unique force in music, blending elements of electronic, jazz, house, and pop.
