One of many evocative studies Keith made of the passionate if amateur orators at London’s Hyde Park Corner.
Speaker’s Corner, October 1969
Speaker’s Corner, October 1969
Another product of one of Keith’s sorties to Hyde Park
London Street Scene, December 1968
A world away from the hedonistic and ideological extremes of the work he was doing for the underground press, Keith still found time to observe the ironies of a more typical British culture
Angel Underground Station, 1968 Islington, London
Taken on one of his early London walkabouts, this is another of Keith’s evocative images of people in familiar yet stark urban relief
Rhondda Valley, Date unknown, World Medicine magazine
Keith took several commissions from the perhaps unlikely source of World Medicine magazine, this one doubtless investigating the poor health of those working in South Wales mining towns
Janis Joplin, 19th April 1969 Royal Albert Hall, London
Janis Joplin at the Royal Albert Hall supported by the up and coming young band Yes
Ray Davies, 1986 Come Dancing video shoot
The video of the Kinks’ 1986 compilation album found a slightly awkward Ray Davies straining to affect a lounge lizard pose, but Keith caught him at the right moment, which in a slightly different form became the cover shot..
Steve Winwood, April 1977 The Cotswolds
Although he’d photographed Traffic live a few times, it wasn’t until commissioned by Island to do some p.r. shots for his first solo album that Keith had worked solely with Steve Winwood. His farmyard backdrop neatly reflected Steve’s laid-back rural image
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Spring 1977 Location Unknown
Petty and his band first toured Britain in ’77 behind their eponymous first album, and despite the ravages of punk at the time gave a great account of themselves, as Keith’s shot clearly shows
Robert Plant, July 1969 Royal Albert Hall, London
The first series of Rock Proms featured a sometimes awkward mix of mainstream and underground artists, but Led Zeppelin were undeniably triumphant and Mr Plant’s pose left no-one in doubt of where he was headed
