The Sunshine Bores the Daylight Out of Me is an exhibition of largely unseen rock images taken by photographer Justin Thomas.

Images of The Stones, The Clash, Dylan, Marley, The Specials and James Brown are among those that were lying around in boxes in his Brixton flat until Sydney Street Gallery owner Claudine Sinnett persuaded him to exhibit some of them at her recently opened gallery in Brighton.

This exhibition will be the first of several to be rolled out over the next couple of years. Images will be available to buy as limited edition runs of 50.

The Sunshine Bores the Daylight Out of Me, Sydney Street Gallery, until 16 November

He will dress in thousands of pounds worth of costumes, bringing a touch of Las Vegas to the UK.

Sandra Omo is concerned about models’ photos being used without them knowing

I am beginning to wonder the possibility of a model fronting the cover of a magazine without even knowing it. For sure if it’s a well known magazine, there is no way the model wouldn’t know, and the magazine itself wouldn’t make such a blunder knowing how much it will cost them if the model in question sues.

Now that brings me to the question of small magazines in other parts of the world, that the model or anyone that knows them will never get to see – is it possible? The answer is a big ‘yes’.
