Andrew Whittuck started shooting in the mid-sixties where he soon took some of the earliest shots of Pink Floyd. Andrew recalls "I had a friend who knew the Pink Floyd managers and they were keen for any publicity, since the Floyd had only been formed 18 months before. They all came to my studio/bedroom in my parents’ house in Hampstead with all their instruments and most importantly for me, with their lighting guy." These iconic psychedelic shot is now on display as part of the V&A's Pink Floyd 'Their Mortal Remains' exhibition.

Photographer’s Notes:
"I had a friend who knew the Pink Floyd managers and they were keen for any publicity, since Pink Floyd had only been formed 18 months before. They all came to my studio/bedroom in my parents’ house in Hampstead with all their instruments and most importantly for me, with their lighting guy. The only illumination I used was the lighting they used in their gigs, a 35mm Kodak projector with glass slides with a mixture of oil/water and colored ink, heated by a hair dyer close up, so that the ever changing bubbles of color floated over them." This photograph is currently on display at the V&A's 'Their Mortal Remains' Pink Floyd exhibition in London.”
