All-Access: Induction Photography by Kevin Mazur

The virtual exhibit on rockhall.com reveals intimate backstage portraits and epic images from unprecedented access to artists, captured by Kevin Mazur.

Accompanying the photographs on rockhall.com are curated stories that celebrate rock & roll, including audio commentary by Mazur, and a corresponding playlist available on the Rock Hall’s Spotify channel. An accompanying physical exhibit is planned to open at the Museum this fall in conjunction with the November 7th HBO Induction special.
