Today marks the release of the brand new single by Harry Styles after a hiatus of several years.

Named Aperture, photography outlets like us may get quite excited, but sadly the lyrics don’t seem to contain a list of the best settings to shoot different subjects. Still, it’s a good excuse to peruse the Getty archive to find some photogenic pictures of this flamboyant character.

I’ve selected a few standout shots from the past decade or so, including performance pics, shots taken at premieres and rather off-tangent, the pop star being measured up for his Madame Tussauds waxwork.

Once you’ve enjoyed this gallery, take a look at some other songs themed around photography and cameras….

Happy Harry Styles Day!
