Jarvis Cocker

‘When Jarvis opened the door I found myself in an Aladdin’s cave of kitsch’

This image, shot during the height of Britpop fever, was inspired by a Diane Arbus picture

I’ve recently started rediscovering negatives from shoots I did in the 1990s. It’s great fun, particularly finding pictures I’d completely forgotten about – which is not surprising as I was shooting around 200 jobs a year at that time. I’ve found some pictures I really like, and put some of them on my Instagram page; they’ve had a very positive response.

One example, a music magazine which focused on Britpop bands. At the time, Pulp had been going for a number of years but hadn’t achieved major chart success. However, they had a cult following and would have been well-known to readers.
