Edward Colver

Written By The Self Portrait Gospel

Edward Colver is one of the most groundbreaking and essential photographers of the last 20th century. A self taught master of his craft, he has single handedly captured the hardcore/punk scene of the late mid/late 70s into the early/mid 80s. I don't think theres a single person out there thats not been in his viewfinder at some point in time. The list is out of control and I personally do not have enough characters to type them out. But I will mention, most notably, that he's responsible for the the cover of Black Flag's "Damage", Circle Jerks' "Group Sex" LP, and live photos/group shots/self-portraits of artists such as Andy Warhol, Bad Brains, Wasted Youth,  Nick Cave, Ice Cube, RHCP and many many more. It was a true honor and privilege to speak to the legend. He has a new book out entitled "Christian Death: Only Theatre Of Pain", so make sure to grab a copy, or support him by purchasing a print from his website by following the link below. Enjoy!
