Ross Halfin - The Ultimate METALLICA Exhibition To Be Held In Sydney This Month
November 3, 2010, 14 years ago
The Blender Gallery - located in the heart of Paddington, a mecca for art and culture in Sydney's eastern suburbs - will be holding The Ultimate METALLICA - Photographs By Ross Halfin Exhibition between November 10th and 20th. Halfin will also sign copies of his new book, The Ultimate Metallica, on Saturday, November 13 between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM.
The Ultimate Metallica features a foreword by Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich and an afterword by guitarist Kirk Hammett.
Halfin has documented Metallica for nearly 25 years, from their beginnings as a scrappy, furious garage band to their current status as the heaviest and most popular metal band in the world. The Ultimate Metallica collects the best of Halfin's amazing images, taken over the years with access granted exclusively to him as the band's main lensman. His candid photographs—taken on stage, backstage, on and off tour—are supplemented by text from many people close to the band, including managers and music writers, plus some colorful personal observations from Halfin himself.
Ross Halfin has toured with and photographed many bands, including IRON MAIDEN, DEF LEPPARD, KISS, THE CLASH, THE SEX PISTOLS, and THE WHO. He lives in Surrey, England.
