Patrick Pope (born 1966) is a British photographer, who specialises in taking pictures of musicians.
[3] His work is used in the packaging of the albums Suede (1993), the debut by the band of the same name, and The Fat of the Land (1997) by The Prodigy.
His 2001 photograph of Dido, taken in Madrid, is in the collection of the United Kingdom's National Portrait Gallery.
[7] Pope decided to draw a line under the debate that his open letter has started, and explain the reasons for his public refusal.
[5] Pope explained that he strongly felt that photography was being devalued by companies asking for work with recompense, or not even bothering gaining permission (Pope only discovered one of his images had been used in the booklet for the band's greatest hits album Absolute Garbage after purchasing a copy and opening the package).
