Richard O’Brien, creator of The Rocky Horror Show and Riff Raff in the film, was central to the visual and theatrical universe Rock encountered on set. This portrait captures the tension between character and performer that runs throughout Mick Rock’s Rocky Horror archive.
Invited by director Jim Sharman to photograph the production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Mick Rock was given unusual freedom on set. He photographed the filming itself as well as cast members in specially arranged portraits, creating a remarkably intimate record of the production before the film became an international cult phenomenon. The archive reveals the same qualities that define Rock’s music photography: theatricality, intimacy, collaboration and an instinct for turning performance into enduring visual identity.
This body of work is an important part of the Mick Rock archive, extending his practice beyond music portraiture and preserving a unique record of one of the most influential cult films of the twentieth century.
