Rare Radiohead photos go on display in London Photo: Sebastian Edge

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The show includes previously unpublished pictures of The Arthur Brothers,�John Robb and�Radiohead, taken using the 19th century Wet Collodion photographic process, which operates sheets of treated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 andProactiva Open Arms, a non-governmental organisation that helps to save refugee lives at sea.
