Reggae portrait of the Day | BOB MARLEY by David Corio 1980


"This was taken at Bob Marley’s last London show in 1980 at Crystal Palace Bowl, although at this time few people knew he was ill. The only way to get close to the stage was to wade into the waist deep lake at the front of the stage with 1 camera, 1 lens and a few rolls of film in a carrier bag. Bob Marley was one of those few people that it was almost impossible to take a bad photo of. His charisma always seems to shine brightly." - Photographer @david.corio⁠

One Love: Bob Marley (1973-1980) will be on view through March 16, 2024. ⁠
