Ross Halfin

Photographer Ross Halfin began his career working for Sounds magazine in the seventies, shooting various artists on the punk scene including The Clash, The Jam, The Sex Pistols, 999, The Adverts, to name but a few. After linking up with writers Geoff Barton and Peter Makowski, Halfin moved on to working mainly in America with bands like AC/DC, UFO, Rush, Journey, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath and many other bands of that genre.

He started Kerrang magazine in 1980 with Barton and produced definitive images of bands from that era, which included Iron Maiden, Metallica, Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Van Halen, amongst others.

These days Ross works mainly as a freelance photographer and no longer concentrates just on music - he also shoots travel photography and the film industry as well. He's shot numerous album covers and has published several books on bands including Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Black Crowes, Iron Maiden, Metallica and now also his first travel book - Travel 1.

Halfin spends most of the year travelling the world but is still based in England. His unfulfilled ambition is to photograph actresses Gong Li and Maggie Cheung...
