Guess who!?
A perfect design in himself. He can be photographed in silhouette, from above, from below, just a small part of him in a shot and in many other ways – yet there would be no doubt of who is in front of the camera. A legendary guitarist and a walking, talking visual logo!
I was given a guitar showroom to shoot Slash in. I felt that it was too obvious, too cliché and maybe lacked proper character. So – having noticed the parking lot as I parked my car, I found this location to be a lot more representable for this image of cool.
He turned up in a car with blacked out windows, the only way to travel when you’re as recognisable as Slash. Nice and chilled, and when I said I was from Norway he started to educate me on my own country and the history of Norwegian Horror films. To be honest – I didn’t even know there were any Norwegian horror films. So – I take my hat off to someone who gave me the soundtrack to 1992 and will continue to impress with his music for many years to come.
