Mr Denner, who began taking photographs after being given a Kodak Brownie 127 camera as a youngster, trained as a biochemist in the 1960s and worked in academic research and food science before turning his hobby into a full-time career.
After signing up with an agency in the mid-1990s, the jazz and blues fan began specialising is photographing live music events at major venues including Wembley Arena, the O2 and the Royal Albert Hall, and has since captured hundreds of stars on camera.
