Sebastian Edge's 'Unseen Works' exhibition premiered at London's Metropolis Studios on October 13. 

The show includes previously unpublished pictures of The Arthur Brothers, John Robb and Radiohead, taken using the 19th century Wet Collodion photographic process, which operates sheets of treated glass instead of film in Edge's hand-built 'Hurricane' camera. This Victorian technique attracted Oxford's band by its peculiarity and the moody, ghostly feel of the photographs, particularly well capturing the atmosphere of the band's 2011 recording.

Taken at Radiohead's Abingdon studio and nearby woods, pictures show us the band in their now well-recognised The King of Limbs attire. 

The exhibition provides a rare opportunity for all photography appreciators and die-hard Radiohead fans to see the unique camera and results of the hard craft. Moreover, visitors of the exhibition have a rare chance to get a glimpse of the studios where were recorded such legendary albums as Queen's Innuendo & Made in Heaven, The Verve's Urban Hymns and, more recently, Grammy-awarded Black To Black by Amy Winehouse.

The extremely rare original contact prints and the very few of their giclee copies are now on sale in support of the unique photography method and Proactiva Open Arms, a non-governmental organisation that helps to save refugee lives at sea.
