An Afternoon with Andrew Catlin – Portraits of a photographer who witnessed one of the defining moments in music history.

In 1985, Andrew Catlin was one of the few photographers with close access to Live Aid at Wembley Stadium. His photographs of Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Phil Collins and many others captured moments that would become part of music history.

Forty years later, I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew in Munich, where he was preparing for Front Row: Live at Wembley 13 July 1985, an exhibition featuring more than 80 previously unpublished photographs from his remarkable archive of nearly 1,000 images.

I accompanied him as he personally signed a series of prints for the exhibition and took the opportunity to photograph him at work. Watching a photographer revisit images he had created four decades earlier was fascinating. Each photograph carried its own story, and Andrew's memories offered a personal perspective on an event that millions of people remember.

What interested me most was the man behind these photographs. His experience, his connection to the musicians he photographed, and the way he looks back on his work today.

The resulting portraits document a quiet afternoon between photographs, signatures and conversations. A chance to capture the person who once stood behind the camera at one of music's most extraordinary events.
