Dave Vanian & Captain Sensible, The Damned, 1980 by Steve Rapport
British photographer Steve Rapport captured this image of Dave Vanian of The Damned at Christmas on Earth, Queens Hall, Leeds in 1981. Rapport was active in the punk scene that exploded in England throughout the 1980s, shooting musicians like The Clash, Annie Lennox and Bruce Springsteen.
This photo is characteristic of Steve Rapport’s style, featuring an ecstatic moment of a musician in their element on stage, with the heavily contrasted black and white emphasizing the subject of the photo.
