Tom Sheehan first met R.E.M. in 1984, being compelled initially both by their southern strangeness and unique alternative twist on '60s folk rock and jangle. 'Our first encounter was all very swift as most of these encounters are,' he remembers. 'Punk had gone past and there was this whole rush of new American music. It was that thing that we love so much about people redefining what you think about music.' Between 1984 and 2005, Sheehan would capture a succession of iconic images of R.E.M. In singer Michael Stipe, himself a photographer, he found a subject utterly aware and alive inside the lens.
Tom Sheehan was born in Camberwell, South London, his vocation decided the day he ?rst saw a picture of Johnny Kidd & The Pirates in a magazine at Loughborough Junction rail station on his way to a school football match. After working for CBS Records he turned freelance in 1978, becoming Chief Photographer at the Melody Maker where his work appeared for the next 2 decades during the height of its weekly circulation. In 2006, Sheehan received an Outstanding Contribution award from Record Of The Day, presented by Coldplay's Chris Martin, in recognition of his life's work in music photography.
