Derek D Souza started taking photos of Paul Weller over 40 years
ago – snapping The Jam at various gigs and soundchecks before the
famous shoot at Chiswick House in London.Attending concerts
across London, he would smuggle his kit in and take photos at
every opportunity, sending the best ones in to their fan club.
His photographs, taken with a low-budget, manual camera from the
midst of crowds in low-lit venues, caught the attention of Paul
Weller. Two years later, Paul’s mum, Ann contacted Derek and he
was commissioned to take photos for the band’s 1981 single
“Absolute Beginners”. One of Derek’s images from that day has
even been added to the National Portrait Gallery’s
collection. Take a listen to hear about his love of The Jam
and how he captured photographs of the band from the viewpoint of
the crowd...And find out more at PaulWellerFanPodcast.comThanks
