Over the past 30 years, Cuffaro has worked with celebrated musicians and A-list entertainers help them define their public image, while establishing his reputation as one of the most respected photographers in the entertainment industry. Cuffaro consistently captures the "real" person behind the famous face and brings a new level of emotional depth to the two dimensional art form of photography. To share his story, Chris has chosen over 100 photographs that represent the most iconic images, artists and moments in his career — his "greatest hits." The Los Angeles exhibition will be an experience as visceral as rock 'n' roll itself, featuring oversize prints, exclusive musical performances and a host of tastemakers and influencers from the entertainment, art, media and pop culture spheres, staged in a completely non-traditional environment.
