Location: Northwest Gallery Lecture Theatre (A025), AUB Campus
Join us for an exclusive evening with Andy Earl, one of Britain’s most iconic photographers, as he reflects on his remarkable 40-year career capturing some of the most enduring images in music, art, and culture.
From the album covers of Prince, Pink Floyd, and Madonna to striking portraits of Johnny Cash and then-HRH Prince Charles, Andy's work has defined visual eras and shaped how we see our cultural icons. In this intimate talk, he’ll share the stories behind his most celebrated images, discuss his creative practice, and reveal how his distinctive blend of surrealism, storytelling, and technical mastery continues to evolve.
Discover how Andy's early influences in American colour photography, his belief in photography as a form of artistic expression, and his commitment to crafting bold, imaginative scenes have shaped a body of work that's both instantly recognisable and endlessly inventive.
Whether you’re a photographer, a music lover, or simply curious about the creative process behind iconic imagery, this is a rare opportunity to experience the world through the lens of one of Britain’s true visual pioneers.
Please note: seating is limited for this event – booking is essential. Booking opens soon.
Followed by a drinks reception in TheGallery from 18.00–19.30. The drinks reception is an open event, and no RSVP is required.
