Description
Snow Business captures Graham Coxon in the aftermath of an impromptu prank, dusted head to toe in what appears to be foam or artificial snow. Taken during Blur's early touring years, the photograph perfectly encapsulates the band's mischievous sense of humour and the playful chaos that often unfolded once the day's work was done.
Photographed by Dave Rowntree, the image is a reminder that life on tour extended far beyond the stage. Between performances, interviews and long journeys, the band forged lasting friendships through countless unscripted moments like this—moments that rarely made it into the public eye. Graham's calm expression, despite being completely covered in "snow", only adds to the photograph's charm and wit.
As both drummer and photographer, Rowntree occupied a unique position within Blur, allowing him to document the band's private world with honesty and affection. His archive offers an intimate visual diary of one of Britain's most influential bands, preserving not only landmark moments in music history but the personalities behind them.
Printed as an archival pigment print on Somerset Satin Enhanced 330gsm, Snow Business is a joyful blend of documentary photography and portraiture. Rich in character and nostalgia, it is an exceptional addition for collectors of contemporary photography, Blur memorabilia and candid behind-the-scenes imagery.
