Neal Preston has photographed almost all of the biggest Rock & Roll artists of our time. As tour photographer for Led Zeppelin, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, Madonna, The Who and many others, Neal's archive includes some of the definitive images of music history.

His picture of Freddie Mercury at Wembley in 1986 is included in the collection at the National Portrait Gallery alongside his panoramic Live Aid Finale and Jimmy Page onstage in Chicago 1975. His stories are as entertaining as his pictures so we sat down to hear him discuss just a few of them on the latest episode of @toolatewithdave

Henry Diltz is our latest guest on Too Late with Dave.

During a break on a whistle-stop tour of Germany celebrating ‘The Spirit of Woodstock', we sat down with Henry to discuss his work. It’s impossible to cover all of Henry’s photography in such a short time so we picked a few of the legendary album covers he was responsible for and the stories behind them.

Filmed at the Limelight Gallery, Frankfurt.

This week’s guest on Too Late with Dave is Perou, creative director and master photographer of people: sports stars, actors, musicians, politicians, models and ordinary folks living extraordinary lives. Perou talks openly about his love of connecting to what makes people and the world they occupy unique. Along with insights into his creative process, we hear tales of shoots gone awry and ones that have produced award-winning imagery. From a chaotic night with Courtney Love, getting snarled at by Justin Bieber’s dad and asking Nigel Farage to eat worms. From his beginnings in the fetish scene to his many personal projects, documenting underpasses to his fear of clowns to name a few. Perou’s career is as varied and ambitious as his imagination.

In the middle of a global pandemic, Perou’s book, 'Marilyn Manson by Perou: 21 years in Hell' was published by Reel Art Press and became an instant best seller and sold out worldwide.
