CHARLES MORIARTY
In 2003, Charles Moriarty was asked by a mutual friend to photograph a local singer by the name of Amy Winehouse. He had no idea the heights that the honest, self-assured 19-year-old would eventually reach. The Irish photographer ended up shooting the cover for Amy’s debut album, Frank, with the two striking up a friendship that remained tight for two years until Moriarty moved back to his home country. By the time he was back in London again, the girl from the photos – his friend – was now Amy Winehouse, the Star. Moriarty could only watch from a distance as her story unfolded in the public eye.
In 2018, Charles released “Back To Amy”, a stunning book consisting of two shoots spread across London and New York in the lead-up to the release of her debut album Frank, these beautiful images capture a sense of fun, mischief, and style, giving an early glimpse of a star in the making. The collection includes many photographs that have never been seen before, some of which are now available as signed limited edition prints from Modern Rocks Gallery.
