For the last 25 years, Manchester-based photographer Richard Kelly has been attending superstar concerts, hanging out backstage with singers and asking icons to pose in basement studios.
From the Arctic Monkeys and Amy Winehouse to local grime stars, he’s captured some of the biggest and most exciting names when it comes to British music.
His career began whilst working at the Manchester Evening News almost 30 years ago. Originally from Burnage, Richard, then 16, was drawn into the power of the photo as he worked as a messenger for the features department.
