Peter hince queen biography death

How did he become a photographer? What is his news and what are his projects? What relations does he still have with the band? And what did he think of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody? You started photography while you were still working for Queen. You have taken many extremely well known photos of the band, some of which were used for record covers or posters.

How did you get the desire to become a photographer? Did the band encourage you? And why did you choose to turn to advertising rather than continuing to be a photographer in the music business? We had a family camera, but that was only a little basic Instamatic and was only reserved for holidays or a special occasion.

Peter Hince started working as roadie for Queen as early as , while they were recording the album A Night At The Opera.

I came from a poor family, and it was expensive to buy film and then get to processed. Then when I was probably about 19, I got a half-decent camera and I just started experimenting with it and later when I was with Queen we went to Japan, where I could buy Nikon cameras — when they were much cheaper to buy in Japan, and bit by bit I taught myself.

When taking photographs of the band there were certain rules -in the same way you did not talk about the band outside of the circle, you did not give away any confidences, you did not play music that was being recorded to anyone outside, those kind of things. You had to judge the timing. I was then asked by some of the management. Take some photos.

But for a band that was so visual, they rarely had photographers around.
