London

Friday to Wednesday, May 4th to June 13th | Queen in 3D Exhibition by Brian May

Lomography Gallery Store Soho is very excited to announce the new exhibition of stereoscopic photos taken by Brian May while touring with Queen. From an early age Brian would travel 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 were shared for the first time in Brian's photographic autobiography, Queen in 3-D, published The London Stereoscopic Company. Some of the photographs had not even been fully processed until the book was in the making. Initially thought by Brian to be a quick job, this project turned into a labor of love for May and his team which spanned three years. Each time May thought all the photos had been discovered, more 3-D photos were found in forgotten hiding places, revealing more of the band's story.

This event is free and open to the public.
