Matthias Clamer isn’t a music photographer per se, but he does get commissioned an awful lot to shoot bands and musicians from all the major genres, including hip-hop, metal, rock, indie, pop, electronic, and punk. Maybe it’s because his style of photography—vivid, dynamic, sometimes quirky, often impish—elevates even something as ordinary as a band portrait into an image that feels like, well, a hit.
Featured in this mini-gallery of Matthias’ “Musicians”: The Killers, U2, Cat Power, Cee Lo Green, Dave Grohl, Black Eyed Peas, Duran Duran, Green Day, Moby, My Chemical Romance, Wayne Coyne, Lauryn Hill, Metallica, and Interpol.
