Author Biography

Bob King started his photography career in 1964 when he captured the Beatles at Sydney Stadium. Over the decades he has shot virtually every visiting concert act of consequence.

Having mastered the art of knowing where to be and, more importantly, where not to be’ when photographing often mercurial rock and roll acts, Bob King has earned the respect from artists and industry professionals.

‘These photographs surprise us with their honesty and astound us with their perception,’ says Glen A. Baker. ‘Bob King’s photographs capture and distil the very essence of the performing art.’
