Freddie Mercury | Queen

Freddie Mercury of Queen, photographed in London. I was hired by Jerki Hamalainen, a new friend from Finland, to shoot some photos of Queen, who he was interviewing. Jerki was the Editor in chief of the legendary monthly Suosikki. Queen was recording and we asked if the photos could show a bit of London. Freddie came out with a cup of tea. His now famous teeth were kind of aggressive and when I pointed my camera at him he was so sweet to cover them with his cup of tea. His powerful eyes tell the full story. A star is rising.
