WELCOME TO SNAP GALLERIES
At Snap we celebrate all aspects of popular culture, with a deep specialism in iconic music photography.
Snap is a commercial retail music photography gallery, and everything you see is for sale.
Our customers are a global group of discerning collectors, art lovers, pop culture junkies and music aficionados who are looking for something special to hang in their homes and offices, and we ship regularly to clients in the UK, the US, Europe and the Far East.
We sell photographs by the master practitioners of the genre, and through our publishing imprint, Ormond Yard Press, we release a carefully curated series of limited edition large-format photography books.
You can easily search for anything on the site using our search function.
The Vermeer Treasury
Our latest offering is something a little different to our usual fare, focusing as it does on the collected works of Dutch master painter Johannes Vermeer (1632-75).
I am really excited about this new component to our business, which involves presenting public domain art in a stunning new format.
Yes, The Vermeer Treasury is for sale, but there’s more to it than that — it acts as a showcase for the kind of bespoke collectors cabinet we can build just for you, centred on your chosen passion. We have already started work on our next project, Caravaggio: The Brush and The Blade, but that’s for another day.
This has been a very personal project for me, drawing on many of my interests beyond the traditional pop culture material we usually offer through the gallery. But hey—where’s the fun if you just stay in your lane?

The Who (1968) by Art Kane
“The Who. They were great, I loved these guys. For me they were like cute little ruffians. They made me think of Dickens, of Oliver Twist, Fagin’s gang”. Art Kane
Knowing that John Entwistle and Pete Townshend wore jackets made from flags, Art Kane decided to wrap them in a Union Jack – actually two, sewn together for the session. Initially they worked in his Carnegie Hall studio shooting on a seamless white background, where this image was made, and subsequently Kane took the group to Morningside Park, near to NYC’s Columbia University.
We this one in inventory at a special price in a large format with a 48×72 inch approximate overall size, reverse mounted in a perspex frameless frame.
The Rolling Stones (1966) by Art Kane
The Rolling Stones in circle formation, photographed by Art Kane for McCalls Magazine in 1966.
Art Kane gathered the band in this classic ‘circle’ formation, and lay on his back on the ground to shoot them. This set-up was subsequently copied by many other photographers—the sincerest form of flattery.
We this one in inventory at a special price in a large format with a 48×72 inch approximate overall size, reverse mounted in a perspex frameless frame.
