What Presence!: The Rock Photography of Harry Papadopoulos

From 1979 to 1984 Harry Papadopoulos worked as a staff photographer for Sounds, for which he provided countless front covers, and this retrospective of his work features images of some of the most influential musicians of the 1980s. During those five years he covered noteworthy bands including Blondie, David Bowie, Devo, Joy Division, Bryan Ferry, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Clash, the Specials, Wham!, ABC, Edwyn Collins, the Associates, and many more.
