The Smiths--Stephen Wright

Tomorrow, photographer Stephen Wright will attempt to recreate his legendary photo of the Smiths taken 27 years ago. The classic picture, considered by many to be the Abbey Road shot of the 1980s, was shot outside the Salford Lads Club in Manchester in 1985 and used in the gatefold artwork of the Queen Is Dead. Wright is hoping fans will join him tomorrow at the scene of the original photo shoot to help him recreate the photo. Read more about tomorrow's event here, and visit Wright's website to view other classic shots he's taken including the Strangeways road sign for Strangeways Here We Come.
