As a teenager in the 1960s, he was told there was no such thing as a Black photographer. Today, the work of Dennis Morris includes some of the most iconic music portraits of our time.

Now, his full collection is on display in the “Music + Life” exhibition at the MEP photography space in Paris. Dennis speaks to Culture Editor Eve Jackson about how it all began – as a teenager bunking off school to meet his hero.
