Queen: The Neal Preston Photographs
Larger than life. Louder than everything. Legends, seen up close.

There are rock bands, and then there’s Queen.

Queen: The Neal Preston Photographs is a backstage pass to the mythos—an intimate, electrifying portrait of one of the greatest bands in history, captured by the only photographer who truly lived it from the inside. Neal Preston, Queen’s official tour photographer during their most iconic years, takes us behind the velvet ropes and into the fever dream of fame, friendship, and pure musical fire.

This book is a living archive: thunderous live shots, unguarded backstage moments, private plane candids, and enough sweat and strobe to bring the stage right to your fingertips. Freddie, Brian, Roger, and John—immortalized not just in performance, but in all their glorious, human dimension.

At Canyon Creative Studio, we gravitate toward the mythmakers and moment-shapers. This is more than rock photography—it’s a chronicle of charisma, chaos, and the kind of alchemy that only happens once.
