Though the lights dim, the last note is played and the audience spills outside the arena, the chance to entertain fans is not over for some musicians. This time they are subjects, not the performers. In celebration of everything that rocks and rolls, the Millenia Fine Art gallery in Orlando presents "Photographers Who Rock," an exhibit featuring the rocker-inspired photography of Gered Mankowitz, Graham Nash and Terry O'Neill.

All three photographers were born in England within a few years of each other and hold a deep passion for music and the quest to find that perfect moment to photograph.

Nash, one of the most wellknown musical figures from the 1960s, took the British Invasion by storm with his band The Hollies and amped up rock music with the foursome Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

His collection of photographs include a haunting black-andwhite self-portrait shot in 1974 in the Plaza Hotel and a 1969 seductive snapshot of ex-flame Joni Mitchell.

"I see the world very differently than most people," said Nash in a statement about the exhibition. "I'm much more interested in the moments that disappear unless you have your camera there to take it. As a result, I am always waiting for things to happen, like Elvis coming back, or riding around the back of an elephant."

Nash also mentioned in the statement that the most frustrated he's ever been with himself is when he spots an unbelieveable image and doesn't have a camera to capture it.

"So, I try to always carry one," he said. Mankowitz opened his first studio in London in 1963 and has shot the Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithfull, Jimi Hendrix and new wavers Duran Duran.

His images are lenticular, which means they are cut and reassembled in vertical strips. Depending on which side of the picture the viewer looks at, there's an illusion of movement.

O'Neill became a professional jazz musician at age 14. When he began taking pictures, he sold them to The Daily Sketch in the early 1960s and later on free-lanced for publications such as Rolling Stone and Vogue.

O'Neill's work centers on capturing glamour and upclose shots of famous actresses, such as Faye Dunaway, Isabella Rossellini and Audrey Hepburn.

According to Josh Garrick, consultant for Millenia Fine Art Gallery, located near the Mall at Millenia, this has been the gallery's most successful and intriguing show yet.

"The mix of these three photographers and the celebrity touch that Graham Nash adds to the show made it our biggest opening yet," said Garrick. "We sold a lot of great pieces, and audiences have been very interested in coming to the show."
