Virginia Turbett’s first photo assignment was in June 1977 photographing the Sex Pistols recording the Pretty Vacant Video.
She spent the next ten years photographing for Sounds, Smash Hits, The Face, New Sounds New Styles, Flexipop and Record Mirror : the music, the fans and fashion of the punk, heavy metal, mod, new romantic, reggae, 2-tone and electro pop scenes.
Her work took her all over the world photographing features on hundreds of bands and solo artists including The Clash, Blondie, Iggy Pop, Prince, The Jam, U2, Andy Warhol, Frank Zappa, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, Madness, David Bowie and Duran Duran.
Virginia’s music, youth culture and social history photographs have been used to illustrate many thousands of magazines, books and are frequently used in documentaries and films.
