‘Who Shot Rock & Roll’
Who Shot Rock & Roll, the photo exhibition that opened on Saturday at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, shifts the focus from stars such as Tupac and Jim Morrison to the photographers who captured them, spanning over 50 years of rock history. The Annenberg Space has also produced an exclusive documentary highlighting the photographers whose images defined – or changed – rock & roll history.
