LOS ANGELES, CA - For the first time ever, London-based photographer Steve Gullick will show his collection of photography at Found Gallery. Gullick will present over 30 rare, never-before-printed photographs of musicians with whom he’s worked in the past two decades. Among the highlights are Nirvana, Neil Young, Elliott Smith, Pearl Jam, Beck, the Flaming Lips, Bjork and many more. Gullick’s work is moody and stylish, much like the bands he photographs. On exhibition January 18th, 2008 – February 1st, 2008.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Steve Gullick is the one and only punk savant photographer left working in the music business. The London based family man and principled reprobate started taking band shots for a friend's fanzine in the early 90’s and was swiftly spotted and recruited by the then weekly music paper Sounds. His first collection of photographs, Pop Book Number One, came out in 95, and Gullick survived the Britpop years continuing to turn the raw stuff of blokes in bands into gripping, eye fooling images.

The Prodigy liked him so much he became their 'official' photographer. He liked one features editor so little that he resigned to him twice, as he moved back and forth between Melody Maker and the NME. By the end of the decade he had traveled the world, flitting stylishly and sometimes drunkenly from East London, through tango bars in Buenos Aries and up to the lava slopes of Mount Etna, while clicking off enough film to occupy half of 'Nirvana' book plus his own feisty showcase 'Showtime'.

In 2002 he created the music magazine 'careless talk costs lives,' which intended to produce 12 bi-monthly issues. 2004 saw the launch of 'loose lips sink ships' magazine that Steve still continues (www.llss.tv). Anyone who still thinks Anton Corbjin is the cool rock photographer should meet this man and his work. Visit Steve online at: www.gullickphoto.com
