Sheila Rock
As the 1970s drew to a close and changes in music, fashion and attitudes collided to form Punk, Sheila Rock was right at the heart of the electrifying youth movement. Whether candid or posed, her striking photographs perfectly capture the innocence of the early days, the DIY fashion ethos and the raw energy of Punk.
They combine bands posed or live and critically the fans, punks and punkettes who made up the movement again posed or natural. Also, the only photographer to have captured the notorious Moors Murderers rehearsing.
Check out her books Punk+ and Young Punks for an amazing array of photos of bands, fans and fashion, all in the early stages of her career.
