From the series "The Photo Booth Project"

Jack „Choke“ Kelly, the notoriously fierce frontman of Boston hardcore pioneers Slapshot, captured backstage at the Stadthalle in Offenbach, Germany, November 20, 2016.

Photographs by Per Schorn in "The Photo Booth Book" series are striking, high-contrast analog portraits that offer an intimate look into the modern punk and hardcore scene. This specific image—the third frame in a sequence of four—captures Kelly with a freshly split head wound from hitting himself with his microphone the night before, freezing a menacing, intense gaze that perfectly encapsulates the dual nature of hardcore's most intimidating performers. Utilizing a unique five-second countdown with no second chances, Schorn’s long-term photo booth project captures landmark artists in their most authentic, unscripted moments.
