Where everybody is beautiful and nobody grows old
I was working on some layout work for a publication this past week and tried to get inspiration and ideas from books we have around the house. Dug out this one that belongs to my boyfriend – Rock Faces by Oliver Craske – It’s a photo book of some of the greatest images of rock n roll legends. I scanned a handful and thought I’d share them with you guys. Some of these made me think of what the atmosphere was like, was there tension or was everyone playing it cool and if it makes sense that a rockstar can only be photographed by an equally rockstar, fearless photographer. They gotta be on the same level in some way right?
Now, less talk more photos, rock on m/ my friends, whatever you do.
