About the Author
Brian Aris began his photographic career as a photojournalist, working for a London agency. After nine years of travelling, including a stint in Vietnam at the end of the war, he opened a studio in London. During the next two decades he covered every aspect of the music scene from punk rock, glam' rock and straight rock 'n' roll with the Rolling Stones right through to the emergence of the boy bands and then the girl power that arrived with The Spice Girls. Commissioned by Bob Geldof to photograph his wedding to Paula Yates, Brian was then brought in to take the exclusive official pictures of the all-superstar Band Aid line-up. He was given exclusive backstage access of the Live Aid and Live8 concerts. Other glamorous weddings followed - Sting to Trudy Styler, David Bowie to Iman, Liza Minelli to David Gest, Joan Collins to Percy Gibson and David Beckham to Victoria.
He is considered the foremost music photographer.
