Intrinsically linked to
the music scene from the late 1970's Paul Cox started his career at LFI, an
established picture agency, where he embarked on an adventurous career
photographing live bands at venues in London. Artists such as Blondie, Sid
Vicious, Ian Drury - to name a few - were photographed by Paul at iconic venues
such as the Marquee, Hope and Anchor pub and the Electric Ballroom. During this
period Paul did a lot of live shoots, but also worked for a number of music
magazines and record companies.

After three years Paul left the agency and set
up a partnership with a fellow photographer from LFI. They set up a studio in
an amazing run-down building in Belgravia, London. After a few years there they moved
to the studio in Fulham, London going their separate ways in the mid-eighties. Paul
went on to become one of the most prolific photographers of the music scene in
that era, photographing pretty much every band that entered the Top 40.
