His voice, his look, his energy and enthusiasm are infectious. God, just love this dude. Brad Elterman is a Los Angeles based photographer who’s work includes iconic and candid photographs of stars like Michael Jackson, David Bowie and Joan Jett to backstage antics from Iggy Pop, Runaways, Tom Waits and many more. After a few years hiatus due to a dormant scene, Brad is back in the thick of it all once again, just as intimate and just as enthused, documenting the LA music scene because “he feels like something special is happening again.”

We went to his house and spent an entire day listening to and telling stories with him. It’s one of our favorite days in recent memory.
