The Strokes
The Strokes are an American rock band from New York City, best known as key figures in the early 2000s garage rock revival. With breakout hits like “Last Nite” and “Someday,” the band brought a raw, stylish energy that blended post-punk edge with pop sensibilities. Their stripped-down sound and cool, urban aesthetic helped define indie rock for a new generation, influencing countless bands and cementing their place as one of the most iconic acts of the 21st century.

“This was one of my early shoots for Dazed and Confused magazine. I worked with them a lot in the late 90’s and got some fantastic commissions..All unpaid! You did it for love and experience to get you to the next stage.
I remember being sent to the infamous band hotel “The Columbia” in Lancaster gate London. This was in April of 1998 if i recall and it would have been one of their early trips to London. It was certainly the first time Dazed had featured them.
When i turned up they were waiting outside for me with their PR Jacob who i knew, looking like many other new bands but had a real fun side to them. Julian however was working the Rock and roll vibe. Its a great energy to be around when you meet young fired up bands like this for me. Their room was not something you would imagine in this part of London but worked perfectly for the shoot. So we shot a little out side and the rest in this dodgy room. As you can see from the body language the guys were engaged in having a bit of fun..I used an old Pentax 6x7 camera for this shoot and on the legs image shot it blind from on top of a wardrobe. I have alway loved this image and it was actually one of the images the magazine used.”
