The Smiths--Stephen Wright photos

Last Saturday, photographer Stephen Wright executed his plan to recreate a classic 1985 photo of the Smiths featured in the gatefold artwork from The Queen Is Dead. Fans showed up outside Salford Lads Club in Manchester to participate in the recreation and you can view the results of the photo shoot here.

An exhibit featuring Wright's work will be on display in Manchester's Holden Gallery through the beginning of May. Visit his official site to view vintage photographs he's taken of The Smiths and to purchase select prints.
