A rare portrait of Radiohead’s enigmatic frontman at the height of a cultural revolution.
Photographed for Rolling Stone in 1998 during Radiohead’s OK Computer era, this rare work is now available to collectors in a strictly limited edition of 20 - each hand-signed, numbered and produced to museum standards on archival Hahnemühle fine art paper.
Created in my North Adelaide home - far from the Sydney–Melbourne media bubble - the session was one of the first times a major international act was photographed in Adelaide. This shoot helped change what was possible for editorial photography in the city.
The final image is a composite of five separate portraits of Thom Yorke - full-face, two-thirds and profile. Each frame was shot on Kodak 120 colour negative film using studio flash, printed individually, then cut by hand at my dining table and taped together from the back to form a single image. The result was scanned at high resolution, minimally retouched and approved by the band.
Published internationally - including on the cover of Rolling Stone Germany - this portrait remains one of the most widely distributed images of my career.
