‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ – Richard O’Brien’s tribute to B-movie sci-fi, camp and sexual fluidity – is one of the most beloved and revered cult films ever made. Its ‘don’t dream it, be it’ ethos has made the movie the longest theatrical release in film history, grossing more than $225 million over nearly five decades. In 1973, photographer Mick Rock (‘the man who shot the seventies’) was making his name shooting rock acts like David Bowie, Queen and Lou Reed, and was invited by director Jim Sharman to be the film’s official photographer. Given absolute freedom, not only did Mick shoot rare images of the filming process, but he also captured candid and unique shots of the cast and crew, who were together for only a few weeks.
