Unique framing

From the series "The Photo Booth Project"

Tim McIlrath, frontman of the multi-platinum melodic hardcore band Rise Against, captured backstage at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle in Stuttgart, Germany, October 12, 2015, following an impromptu, word-of-mouth introduction by the band Great Collapse.

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 second frame in a sequence of four—highlights the DIY, community-driven nature of the project, cutting through strict industry management to win over the band with the project's unique concept. 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.
