About the Photograph
Debbie Harry is photographed by Ebet Roberts in an intimate performance close-up, leaning into the microphone with her eyes lowered. Roberts isolates the singer from the surrounding stage, concentrating the composition on Harry’s expression, the sweep of her hair and the physical immediacy of the performance.
The photograph reflects Roberts’s privileged proximity to the musicians she documented and her instinctive ability to capture unguarded moments within live music culture. It forms part of a collection of vintage Debbie Harry photographs by Ebet Roberts held by The Music Photo Gallery.
This is a unique vintage silver gelatin print measuring 8 × 10 inches. No other copy of this print is known. The precise date and location of the photograph remain undocumented.
