In a major retrospective, What A Life! Rock Photography By Tony Mottwill take to the State Library of NSW to showcase Mott’s incredible contribution to photography and journalism.
From earning his first break photographing Chrissy Amphlett of the Divinyls in the early ’80s, the British-born chef proceeded to stake his place as the rock photographer of choice around the world to snap some of the biggest names in music, such as The Rolling Stones, Björk, Elton John and Nirvana – as well as local acts INXS, Midnight Oil and Cold Chisel.
Mott’s photos have appeared in more than 700 magazines, as well as providing photography for more than 450 singles, EPs and albums, so be sure to catch some of these legendary shots up close at the State Library.
Catch What A Life! Rock Photography By Tony Mott at the State Library of NSW for free between Saturday October 17 and Saturday November 7, more info through here.
