Rock Banned

Angebote / Angebote:

The idea for a book of rock music style portraits came about during the first Covid lockdown in 2020. Paul was friends with the lead singer of a local Sydney band and he had been keen for Paul to shoot his band during rehearsal, including some nudes, for some controversial publicity photos. He told Paul he and his fellow band members often rehearsed naked. ( And in various states of creative inebriation.) As it turned out their plans were stymied firstly by their rehearsal space getting flooded and then by the band being forced to abandon their space due to lockdowns. But the seed had been planted for some kind of rock music book and, despite restrictions, Paul was still able to shoot in indoor locations with one or two people. He knew some men that fit the theme perfectly, either with a music background, or having that rock or roadie look or experience. The idea became to create a homage to those rock industry performers and workers notorious for their on-stage and off-stage lewd and larrikin antics, drawing on the provocative posturing and dance movement of male rockers in action, but take it that step further into fantasy by shooting them in rehearsal, performance and behind the scenes even more blase and risque about their various states of nudity. The book is quality large formatted and hardback bound art stock pages.
