From Dede Millar: In March 2012 there is going to be an inspirational Exhibition taking place at the Strand Gallery in London. Entitled She Bop A Lula, the exhibition will comprise 50 images of the most influential and creative female singers over the last six decades, photographed by women photographers. The Exhibition is being organised by Dede Millar, who was a director of Redferns Music Picture Library. Dede says that whilst plans for the Exhibition are well underway there has been an added challenge to putting it on. “Sales of all prints will be going to Breakthrough, the UK’s leading breast cancer charity, so it means photographers donating an image for free. I fully understand that there are many worthwhile charities and it’s not possible to support them all but as 1 in 8 women will be affected at some point during their lifetime, the research undertaken by Breakthrough is vital. The support we have received from photographers in the UK, USA and Europe has been fantastic and there is a great group of women photographers involved but I would still like to hear from any women photographers who feel they could contribute to the Exhibition”. Dede further comments “ She Bop A Lula will be a showcase for women photographers and we are hoping to travel it both in the UK and internationally when it will revert to a commercial enterprise. Photographers have to earn money!”
Any interested photographers should contact Dede as soon as possible [email protected]
