'One
of the greatest music photographers of all time...this book is
indispensable to anyone who is a fan of The Smiths and Morrissey, or of
great photography 'Classic Pop magazine'Unsurprisingly, given Cummin's
history, the photographs are beautifully composed, from the live shots
with their webbing of shredded shirts and outstretched arms to the
lyrical portraits on staircases or Japanese streets'Q MagazineTaken by
renowned photographer Kevin Cummins and featuring hundreds of previously
unseen images, Alone and Palely Loitering chronicles Morrissey's world
as he emerged from The Smiths and established himself as a solo artist.
Breathtaking photographs cover chaotic live performances, intimate
portrait sessions and snatched moments backstage and on tour over a
ten-year period. Cummins provides insightful commentary on the art of
photography and what it was like to work and travel with Morrissey.
The
book also includes portraits of from fans around the world with
Morrissey-inspired tattoos, featuring an essay by literary academic Dr
Gail Crowther exploring how this art form is used to display devotion to
a unique musician.
