Dennis Morris was highly adept at capturing the emerging black subculture in late 1960s and early 1970s London, as he was a teenager as it was growing. From sound systems to street fashions, he caught it all. He also captured life around in him in Hackney before going on to photograph the Sex Pistols and Bob Marley (his two most famous jobs) and choose acts for Island Records. I interviewed him last month for the Daily Telegraph. Only a few of the words made it to the web, but you want to see the photos anyway!
