21 available works

Martyn Goddard is one of the leading photographers of the British New Wave era. From the mid-1970s onward, he created many of the defining images of Blondie, Debbie Harry, The Jam, The Cure, Queen, Wham! and numerous other artists whose photographs shaped the visual identity of popular music.

Working for publications including the Sunday Telegraph Magazine while maintaining close relationships with record labels and musicians, Goddard produced album covers, promotional sessions and editorial portraits that have become enduring icons of rock photography. His archive combines the energy of punk and new wave with a refined studio aesthetic that made him one of Britain's most influential music photographers.

This collection presents original limited-edition photographs by Martyn Goddard, available through The Music Photo Gallery.
