Derek Ridgers studied with Freddie Mercury at the same art college that Pete Townshend attended. His documentary photographs of the start of the punk movement in London in 1976 are of major importance and his work has appeared in a wide range of UK magazines.

Below are samples of some of his photos.

To help the HIV/AIDS work, Derek has made an offer - that if anyone sees the photos here and likes his particular brand of photographic skills, then he will donate 100% of any fee to the charity (obviously not including film, processing, etc.).
