Queen in the studio, Johnny Dewe Mathews recalls, "These were the 1st ever photos taken of the group in my studio in 1973. They were never used and remained unseen untill recently. At the time when I was asked by their then agent I had never heard of them, but with Freddie it was immediately apparent that I was in the presence of a charismatic visionary who was totally focused. He set the dress sense for the whole band and I remember that he smelt of something delicious. They were very confused by my casual approach to taking photos. I had no assistants and no lights and only listened to blues music. But Freddie warmed up when I told him that I had taken many photos of Derek Jarman and Andrew Logans Alternative Miss World; I also told him about photographing Andy Warhol at his Mao show in Paris with a Brownie Box camera .He looked at me as if he was genuinely impressed!

A great print deserves a great frame. At Rockarchive we would be delighted to advise you on how best to select the right frame for your print. Please just let us know when you place your order or contact us once you have received your print and we will discuss the various options with you.
If you live in London we can arrange to get your print framed for you. Once the print is framed you can either collect it from our London Rockarchive Studio, in Kentish Town or we can arrange for it to be delivered to your London address (at an extra charge).
If you live elsewhere in the UK, we can arrange to get smaller sized prints framed and shipped to you. However due to postage regulations acrylic (eg perspex) rather than glass needs to be used in the frame.
