A number of the world’s most talented [rock and roll photographers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photography-seoul-museum-of-art) and the moments they seized are being showcased in the ‘Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present’ exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. The exhibit will reveal some of the best and the worst moments in the history of rock-and-roll that have been captured on film.

Rock and roll helped slake society’s appetite for personal expression, fueled the [fashion movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-1), and goes hand in hand with [fantastical imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color). Examples of the collaborative role photographers of rock-and-roll played in history can be found in six separate sections at the ‘Who Shot Rock & Roll’ exhibit.
