Manic Street Preachers by Martyn Goodacre, 1991
|
Some of Cummins's best work features black-and-white shots of serious young men with furrowed brows, great hair and the weight of the world on their shoulders. His striking portrait of Manic Street Preachers' Richey Edwards from August 1994 captured the guitarist in the pits of despair, or at least that's how it looked. "Nicky Wire looked at him there, with his eyes closed, almost crying, holding onto this statue, and said, 'Fucking hell, Edwards! You'd do anything to get on the cover of the NME, wouldn't you?' Richey started laughing." |
