For almost 30 years, Allan Dines has photographed hundreds of celebrities in some of the most iconic venues in Boston and surrounding areas. Legends from the world of music, movies, television, sports and more were captured by Allan’s camera. And almost every photo has a story to go with it.
Many of these photos will be highlighted in Allan’s upcoming book, FRONT ROW CENTER: How I Met Everyone.

In writing the foreword to Allan’s book, Carter Alan of WZLX says: Allan’s photos reveal so much about the figures found in the images, but what about the stories behind the shots? How does one reach that ideal crossroad of timing and technique to immortalize an ecstatic B.B. King as he hits the perfect note on ‘Lucille’ or end up one-on-one with the celebrated Aaron Neville, and then gain his confidence for an impromptu photo shoot?
