A fine new exhibition opens at the Roundhouse in London on August 2nd. This is the PopView Lex van Rossen Award Exhibition 2009, featuring work by this year's winner of the coveted Lex van Rossen Award: young Belgian photographer Tom Verbruggen. The accolade, which was awarded earlier in the year at The Eurosonic/Noorderslag Festival in Groningen, recognised Verbruggen's talent for capturing impressive live silhouettes and atmospheric backstage portraits.
Amongst the highlights on display will be images taken by NME photographer Danny North, representing UK talent with his portfolio of shots on the road, at music festivals and in the studio. The work of other commended finalists include, the unobtrusive imagery of Belgian photographer Charlie de Keersmaecker; quirky journalistic shots taken by Dutch photographer Jordi Huisman and striking portraitures captured by Frenchman Julien Bourgeois. Also included are Finnish photographer Kalle Bjorklid's riveting images of audience interaction and Danish photographer, Patrick Ryming's documentation of the highs and lows of life on tour.
The European character of this award is underlined by the support of Rockarchive, the international collective for music photographers.
