Alex Proud has always been inspired by what looks fun, or interesting. He looks for what hasn’t been done, and what he feels should be done and that singular focus has lead him to cross art forms and genres and has led to several reinventions. Alex Proud came to fame with the Proud photographic gallery where he decided to focus uniquely on rock photography because in his words: “there were all these incredible archives of work from rock and roll history and no-one was celebrating the photographers, and I thought ‘Why not?!”.
