We bring you closer to the finest Pop culture photography
A new exhibition capturing the history of Queen through Sir Brian May's own Stereoscopic (3-D) camera lenses.
From an early age Brian travelled with a stereo (3-D) camera in hand, so on Queen tours and during recordings he was
able to capture rare behind-the-scenes moments of one of the world’s greatest rock bands. Decades later these are now
being shared for the first time to the public exhibition in an extensive exhibition.
Some of the pictures were taken on stage; others behind the scenes, including informal shots taken on the road and
during leisure time, giving close-up glimpses of the band as never seen before. Freddie, an enigmatic character, fiercely
protective of his privacy, usually shied away from being photographed off stage. However here we see how he interacted
playfully and unselfconsciously with Brian’s camera, and we catch rare glimpses of this consummate showman as viewed
by his band mate and close friend.
The exhibition also includes stereoscopic photos taken by fans of modern day Queen with the fantastic, flamboyant Adam
Lambert as the frontman and captures the wonders of the hit musical We Will Rock You as seen through Brian’s eyes.
The magic of Queen Will Rock You in 3-D is that the images will be brought to life in three dimension with the ingenious
OWL stereoscopy viewer designed by Brian himself.
