Steve Gullick is one of the world’s finest, most gifted rock photographers, and in the early '90s, freelancing for weekly British music magazine Melody Maker, he found himself right at the epicentre of the grunge revolution, shooting images of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and every major player on the emerging alt. rock scene.
In 2015, Gullick collected some of his most iconic photos of the era in Nirvana Diary, a truly essential visual document of one of the most vibrant and exciting movements in recent musical history. That limited-edition book is long since sold out, but as a reminder of the time, here are five striking featured images from it, and Gullick's recollections of the stories behind each one.
