We are honored to have our own Brad Elterman featured on Flavorwire.com as 10 Rock Photographers You Should Know.
As Dangerous Minds points out, Elterman’s pictures are “strikingly candid.” The Los Angeles-based photographer captures the debaucherous fun of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, gaining intimate access and coming away with images that include Joan Jett stuffing her face, the Dead Boys’ Stiv Bators with his pants down, and Leif Garrett in bed with Nicolette Sheridan (yes, this was a thing). Elterman approaches rock photography with a sense of humor, and through the eyes of a fan who was so intent on covering David Bowie that, when denied access to him in 1975, he hid outside Bowie’s recording studio and ambushed him, paparazzi-style.

Last year, Elterman published Like It Was Yesterday, a limited-edition book of photos from the ’70s and ’80s. You can see more of his work at his website (where you can also inquire about buying prints) or by following him on Tumblr.
