Photography: Patti Smith @ Empire Shepherds Bush.

By Kim Ford

Patti Smith was photographed by Rockshot photographer Kim Ford at the Shepherds Bush Empire. Kim is another of our new featured photographers this week and it was great of her to step in and help because we had photographers at three different music gigs on the night.

Patti Smith opened her set with Ask The Angels and followed with Privilege (Set Me Free). On this set Kim got to two songs in which to capture her images and there were shooting restrictions in place meaning she could only photograph from the sides of the pit.
