Neal Preston is considered one of the most important photographers in rock ‘n’ roll. He toured with Led Zeppelin, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, and others, was the official photographer for the 1985 Live Aid festival, and accompanied Queen during their most intense moments. His camera captured moments that will never be repeated—moments that are now referred to as “iconic shots.”

Many of his photographs form the visual memory of the rock era. The stars trusted him and his camera. They let him share in moments that were special, that wrote music history and – also – in which the facade fell. This resulted in motifs in which the person behind the rock legends became visible. The result: milestones in music history captured on celluloid.

The evenings are a must for music fans, as Preston not only shows legendary photographs at the events, but also talks about the background to the productions. The star photographer thus offers an intimate glimpse behind the scenes of the rock music scene. It becomes clear that he was not only “in the eye of the rock ‘n’ roll hurricane,” but that his camera lens itself was the eye of the rock music hurricane for five decades. Neal Preston enjoys an exceptional position in music journalism, in the field of rock music photography, and in the pop culture industry.
