Photographer RYAN RUSSELL recently posted a large update of 161 new photos on his infinitely browsable website.No joke…you could literally spend hours combing through some truly amazing live, press and off-the-cuff shots of bands like These Arms Are Snakes, Minus The Bear, Russian Circles, Taking Back Sunday, Ted Leo, Fugazi and The Melvins, not to mention some great candid photos of comedians David Cross and Sarah Silverman, actor John Krasinski, Chunklet’s Henry Owings and producer Steve Albini, just to name a few.
Russell’s latest update includes terrific new pics of Death Cab For Cutie, Foo Fighters, Jimmy Eat World, Torche, Fake Problems, Harvey Milk, Pelican, My Chemical Romance, The Color Fred, Vampire Weekend and Henry Rollins among others. Oh…and some dudes in a band called Look Mexico. I hear they’re okay.
The Birmingham, Alabama native also hitched a ride with the boys in Against Me! for a week on this summer’s Warped Tour. Lots of never-before-seen candid shots of backstage shenanigans, autograph sessions and of course, the band live on stage. Go here for your viewing pleasure.
Additionally, the update contains photos of Paramore on the set of their video shoot for “That’s What You Get,” as well as a sampling of Underoath studio pictures Russell took for a book documenting the recording process that will be included in the deluxe edition of their upcoming album Lost In The Sound of Separation.
Again, if you’re not familiar with Ryan Russell, go here and introduce yourself to one of the most talented, hardest working photographers in indie rock. The scope of his amazing work spans everything from New Found Glory to New Mexican Disaster Squad. You may have seen his photos in Rolling Stone, Spin, Alternative Press, New York Times, Rock Sound and Playboy Magazine, and his pictures have been used in album art for Hot Rod Circuit, Black Cross and Patton Oswalt’s Werewolves & Lollipops.
Of course, it’s not just the quality of his shots that’s so impressive but also his ability to capture more than the simple live shot or the typical press photo. Russell has shared a tour bus with Ben Gibbard, David Bazan, the aforementioned Against Me!, Paramore and Taking Back Sunday. He’s captured rehearsal sessions for Converge, Death Cab and Minus The Bear, and he has photographed Mastodon’s video shoot for “Colony of Birchmen” and “The Wolf Is Loose.”
