What You Get Is What You See

is a French photographer. Her career began in 1978, when she took a series of photos of a group of strip-tease artists and acrobats, which would lead to her first exhibitions. This work would unveil her favourite subject, the female model, to which she would frequently return during her career. The 1980s provided Bettina Rheims with the opportunity to take several portraits of both famous and unknown women, resulting in the publication of Female Trouble.

Bettina photographed Tina Turner in 1986, which resulted in the iconic cover picture for the single What You Get Is What You See and some other pictures used for the Break Every Rule singles.

is a British photographer, who’s career took off in the late 1970’s, working as a leading music photographer and many bands aspired to collaborate with him. Paul’s studio in Fulham was a fantastic and legendary space to photograph bands, but he also loved shooting on locations and undertook many assignments with artists such as The Cure and Van Morrison. Over the years, Paul worked with many musicians, from Mick Jagger, The Smiths to Tina Turner.

Paul, a 'jobbing photographer' in 1983, was asked to capture Tina on Channel 4’s The Tube by record company EMI. The performance is considered one of the significant moments of her remarkable comeback. Following that first encounter, Paul was often booked by Tina’s manager and mentor at that time, Roger Davies, for video shoots and studio sessions. Not surprisingly, his last shoot with Tina in 2004, when he was given dedicated time of photograph her in the garden of her home in the South of France, is one of his favourites. His memories and images are now captured in his new book, Simply Tina.

Photos from Paul Cox were used many times for Tina’s records, among others the greatest hits package All The Best, the collection Queen Of Rock 'N’ Roll, the live album Live In Europe and for her recent Deluxe Editions.
