Hedi Slimane's Rock Diary.

Hedi Slimane- A well known french photographer, famous for fashion photography in magazines such as Vogue and Catwalk fashion photography.
However, the work I find particularly interesting is his long term project entitled 'Rock Diary'- In which Slimane travels to destinations with world famous people or Rock bands.

One of my favourites is his Courtney Love photoshoot. Yes it's Rock and Roll, yes it's stunning to look at, but when you look closely you can see the deep and disturbing side of Love- Her arms practically skellitorian, her pupils dilated, her clothes rugged.









Another very good 'Rock' photoshoot he has done is his Miles Kane shoot. Very dimly done, but effective, yet again Black and White photography and high contrast, it's relaxing to see, but still reeks of  rock and roll.
