Today is going to be dedicated to not so much the artist side of music, but the photography side.
I just discovered Mel D. Cole, who is primarily a hip hop photographer, working with the likes of everybody from Mos Def to Kid Cudi to Jay-Z to Diddy to Wale, doing a lot of show photography rather than promo, but he has also worked with people like Bloc Party, The Noisettes, John Mayer, Bassnectar, Eagles of Death Metal, and Vampire Weekend. He primarily shoots in black and white which I totally dig. Aside from working with bands and musicians, he has an intense set of fairly political pictures that draws attention to the increasing level of homelessness. There are several striking photos that he took of the 7th Street Fire in Jersey City, NY. Check out his work
here.
