Neal Preston
Neal Preston is one of the most highly respected photographers in the history of the music industry. His career in photography, which started in high school and continues to the present, has spanned more than four decades. Through his body of work, Preston has made a significant contribution to the pop culture history of multiple generations. His archive stands as one of the music industry’s single most elite and extensive photographic collections. For years, his photographs have appeared in every conceivable media outlet: on the covers and pages of hundreds of world-class magazines, newspapers and books; on television shows; in feature films and documentaries; in Broadway show programs and billboards; in print and electronic advertisements; and on innumerable vinyl and CD/DVD packages. He was also the key contributor to VH-1’s acclaimed “Behind the Music” documentary series, providing over 1,000 still photos used in over 50 episodes. Although Preston is best known in rock circles as Led Zeppelin’s U.S. tour photographer in the mid-1970’s, his rock-and-roll travels have taken him around the world visiting Russia with Billy Joel; Japan with Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Duran Duran; China with Wham!; South Africa with Whitney Houston; Canada with Heart; and Mexico and South America with Queen in 1981 and 2015. In 1985, Preston was chosen as one of the official photographers for Bob Geldof’s “Live Aid” concert at London’s Wembley Stadium. In 1988 his association with Bruce Springsteen helped land him the job as official tour photographer for Amnesty International’s legendary “Conspiracy of Hope”tour, a five-week world trek in which Sting, Peter Gabriel and Tracy Chapman appeared along with Springsteen. In 1980 he began a 30-year-long relationship with “People Magazine” and to this day remains the most-assigned photographer in its history, with almost 700 shoot days to his credit. After joining the International Cinematographers Guild in 1999, Preston served as both the unit and special photographer for the feature films “Almost Famous,” “Vanilla Sky,” “Elizabethtown,” “We Bought a Zoo” and “Aloha” and recently completed work on Season 1 of the Showtime television series “Roadies” (all directed by Cameron Crowe). In addition to creating the key art for those projects, Preston also provided photos used in the feature films “61,” “Singles,” “Laurel Canyon” and “Pick of Destiny,” among others. In June of 2010 Preston cemented a relationship with the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, becoming the first photographer to mount a one-man exhibition of his work on the premises. His work was part of the Hard Rock’s permanent memorabilia collection. Preston’s work has been displayed at such elite institutions as the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., the National Gallery in London, England, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. His iconic photograph of Freddie Mercury is part of the permanent photo exhibit at the new Wembley Stadium in London, and close to 100 of Preston’s photographs adorn the walls of the newly renovated Forum in Inglewood, California.

- Montauk Cowgirl, Montauk Horse Stables, NY, 2007By Robin RiceLocated in Hudson, NYListing is for UNFRAMED print. Inquire within for framing. Edition 1 of 15 After 30 years on West 11th Street, The Robin Rice Gallery celebrates its first ever exhibition for Robin Rice. For decades, Robin has exhibited a wide variety of photographers at the gallery but never her own work. As the show’s title denotes, “It’s About Time.” The opening reception will be held on Wednesday, January 23rd from 6pm to 8pm. The exhibit runs through March 17, 2019. While her photography spans five decades and multiple continents, Rice maintains a cohesive, candid voice that carries throughout all of her work. Observing the world around her in a cinematic way, she possesses an uncanny ability to recognize and capture moments of beauty and the spontaneity of the human spirit. By evoking a wonderstruck sensibility, Rice expresses a deep-rooted love for both people and landscapes using her distinct bohemian style. In this salon-style retrospective, Rice uses an “old school” approach and shoots with her Nikon on Tri-X film. When creating her art, she insists, “the camera has a mind of its own.” The scenes captured in her photography are unedited and thus born purely from the magic of the in-camera composition. In the invitational image, “Tree Farm, Long Lane, East Hampton, NY”, 1999, a naked woman wearing nothing but a large straw hat is captured from behind, centered between a long line of trees on either side, as she bikes down the lane. In another image, “Bubbles, Piazza Rondanini, Roma”, 1995, friends linger before a vine-covered building, extending their arms up in joyful wonder, catching bubbles descending from above. Receiving her first camera at the age of 11, she has since been an avid fine art photographer. After moving from Philadelphia to New York in 1976, Rice was immediately swept up in the electrifying, fast-paced art world of the city. In 1977, Discoworld Magazine hired her to photograph the opening night of Studio 54. After enjoying 23 years of success as a commercial photographer, she shifted her career to become a gallerist, opening The Robin Rice Gallery in 1990. Curating 175 shows, Robin developed her own “school” of artists, cultivating a keen eye for curating and in doing so enriching the aesthetic of her own fine art photography. Despite devoting much of her energy to the gallery, Rice has never stopped creating her own art, and has exhibited in several galleries nationally and abroad. Influenced by photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz, who curated the art of others and exhibited his own work, Rice is ready to showcase her photography on her own turf. In her spare time, Robin has recently taken up DJing: you can often find DJ Redshoes spinning vinyl at her loft in Beacon.
