Think it’s a strange title? Tony Mott explains that
“that’s exactly what it had become to me. In my youth I was, in fact, a trainspotter (and I’m not embarrassed about it). The object being to collect as many locomotives’ numbers as possible and, apart from Rock’N’Roll photography being a career, it is very much a quest to collect as many photos of rock stars as I can. I still get a thrill when I am photographing a new artist, and am not happy til I’ve got what I consider a great shot.
I’ve been chasing this collection of what I consider my best photographs, picked from different points of view, a combination of capturing the essence of the artist and photographic qualities.”
Rock’N’Roll Photography Is The New Trainspotting by Tony Mott was released in March 2011
RRP: AU$49.99
