Photographs of the late Amy Winehouse will be displayed in London to celebrate what would be Winehouse's 30th birthday.

The collection will form an exhibition called For You I Was a Flame and will be displayed at Proud art gallery in the London neighborhood of Camden, close to Amy's former residence in Regent's Park.

"Camden meant everything to Amy, and Camden recognizes that," Mitch Winehouse, Amy's father, said Wednesday at the show's preview.

Some of the photos to be displayed have never been viewed by the public before. Displays include pictures taken by Dean Chalkey in 2011 and images from 2004, before the singer reached super stardom. The exhibition also includes sketches, graffiti art and paintings. Some of the work was donated by Winehouse's family. The street sign from the square where Winehouse died, which fans covered in tributes, will also be on display.

"This, along with the photos and graffiti art, shows Amy at her glitzy best, and her most vulnerable, demonstrating the effect she had on her followers," Alex Winehouse, Amy's older brother, said.

For You I Was a Flame opens on Thursday and is part of a series of events scheduled in order to help raise money for the Amy Winehouse Foundation.

The Amy Winehouse Foundation was started by the singer's family and helps people develop their musical skills while avoiding the lure of drugs. Other events scheduled to celebrate Winehouse's birthday will benefit the charity, including a pop-up store selling Amy Winehouse merchandise, a walking tour of the troubled star's life, benefit shows and a charity skydive hosted by Janis Winehouse, Amy's mother.

Soon, a bronze statue of Amy will be displayed at Roundhouse, the concert hall where Amy held her last public performance.

"Amy is so synonymous with Camden," Jonathan Simpson, mayor of Camden, said. "There's a real sense of pride in her legacy locally."

Some question the affect the town had on Winehouse, who died in Camden on Jul. 23, 2011 from alcohol poisoning.

"People say, well, Camden is a troubled place, it was trouble for Amy," Mitch Winehouse said. "It wasn't Camden. It was circumstances that surrounded Amy."
