Jimmy Page‘s daughter, Scarlet Page, is coming down under to launch an exhibition of her acclaimed music photography. Page’s debut gallery, Captures, will showcase a collection of live, behind-the-scenes, album and portrait shots from across her three-decade career.
Kicking off at Behind The Gallery in Sydney’s Darlinghurst on Thursday, 5th May, Captures will include never-before-seen photographs of various iconic artists, such as Scarlet’s dad, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones and more.
“I sifted through my archives and discovered some previously unseen photographs and hidden gems with an Australian focus.”
The exhibition has an Australian slant, with Page including photographs of The Vines, Nick Cave and some snaps of Silverchair playing in “scuzzy little venues” around England in their teen years.
“While curating Captures, I sifted through my archives and discovered some previously unseen photographs and hidden gems with an Australian focus,” Page said in a statement.
“I pride myself on going a little bit deeper behind the mask and capturing the essence of my subjects. Reflecting back on my career to date, I can see that thread continuing all the way through.”
The exhibition will also feature Page’s entire Resonators collection, which was the result of her travelling the world and taking portraits of David Bowie, Oasis, Courtney Love, Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, Foo Fighters, Amy Winehouse, The White Stripes, The Prodigy and more.
“Especially as time passes, the photos become more nostalgic and more precious somehow,” the artist said. “And they evoke such great memories.”
Scarlet Page’s career highlights include work for prestigious music publications such as MOJO, Q, Uncut, Rolling Stone, Classic Rock, and Kerrang!, as well as travelling around America with the 1994 Lollapalooza tour.
An exclusive competition targeted at young, emerging photographers will be happening alongside the Sydney exhibition. More details on are that to be announced soon. For now, you can find more info here.
