The World Is Yours by Lawrence Watson

“Chuck D and Eric B looking mean and moody on a New York sidewalk. Tom Waits coming on like a sideshow spiv in a rundown bar. These are two of my favourite photographs by Lawrence Watson, not just because they are great portraits, but because I was there when they were taken. I know the stories behind the shots…”
- Sean O’Hagan

“Look through these photographs and you’ll see desire and passion at work. Lawrence was often the first photographer to shoot new artists for the NME, so he was able to capture the raw energy that’s so exciting in the early stages of their careers.”
- James Brown
