Celebrating Steve Rapport: Capturing Eurythmics History One Frame at a Time

Few photographers have documented the visual legacy of Eurythmics quite like Steve Rapport. His lens has followed Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart through some of their most iconic moments, capturing not just performances, but the energy, emotion and artistry that defined their era.

This week, Steve shared two standout stories and photographs that remind us why his work continues to resonate with fans around the world.

The first image takes us back to 1 June 1983, during the filming of the Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) video. Annie Lennox is pictured behind a large sheet of white polystyrene, used by lighting cameraman Chris Ashbrook to bounce soft light onto her face for close-ups. Steve recalls:

“His lens poked through the hole in the polystyrene. When he removed the camera, I could see Annie’s face and I grabbed a few lovely frames.”

It’s a moment of quiet magic, captured with instinct and timing — and a reminder of the creative detail behind one of the most iconic music videos of the 1980s.

The second post takes us to Texas in April 1984, where Steve spent several days with Eurythmics during their tour. After shows in Dallas and Houston, Annie and Dave joined him outside their hotel for an impromptu photo session. Steve remembers Annie being playful and relaxed, resulting in a series of colourful and lively portraits that still shine with personality.

These stories are more than just behind-the-scenes glimpses. They’re part of the living archive of Eurythmics history, and Steve Rapport’s work continues to bring that history to life for fans old and new.

If you’re not already following Steve’s photography journey, now’s the time.
