It’s Bruce Springsteen, away from the stagelights.

Many of the images of “Bruce Springsteen: A Photographic Journey,” on display through Dec. 22 at the Rechnitz Hall’s DiMattio Gallery at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, are photographs of the Boss off stage.

The pictures, many of which have not been seen, tell a story.

“I think for starters, Bruce is very photogenic on stage and off and his music is very cinematic,” said Robert Santelli, the executive director of the Grammy Museum, which curated the exhibit. “Photographers love shooting him in any situation and the results are always positive.”

The ruggedly handsome Springsteen has been a collaborator of sorts with those who have photographed him over the years. He seems to have the eye of a photographer himself.

“I’ve seen Springsteen’s photographs and he used to dabble in it. I don’t know if he still does,” Santelli said. “When I worked on his songbook (“Bruce Springsteen: Songs&rdquo in the ’90s, he was trying to do a lot of picture taking and I tried to convince him to show them.”

No such luck to this point, but on 1 p.m. Sunday at the gallery Santelli with moderate a Q&A with noted Springsteen photographers Frank Stefanko, Ed Gallucci and Eric Meola as part of the opening reception of “Bruce Springsteen: A Photographic Journey.” Photographer Danny Clinch and Pamela Springsteen, who are also featured in the exhibit, will not be in the Q&A.

The exhibition is part of Monmouth’s standing as an official university affiliate of the Grammy Museum. “They’re going to share their experiences with me as to what it was like to photograph Springsteen,” said Santelli, Class of 1973 at Monmouth.
