TESTAMENT
Guitarist Alex Skolnick has spent the last few months photographing the deserted streets and historic protests of New York City
A few years back, Alex Skolnick was working on a limited-edition magazine called UNBUILT, with his friend Randy Blythe from Lamb Of God. One of the assignments involved shooting with a Polaroid camera, which made Alex put more care than usual into his pictures. He’d received the occasional compliment for his photography before, but had never had an urge to pursue it seriously. That changed when Randy identified his talent.
“Randy took notice and suggested I try a ‘pro’ camera,” remembers Alex. “Besides being the singer of Lamb Of God, he’s a truly a next level photographer. He loaned me one of his Leica cameras and gave me a few tips while we were on tour together. I quickly realised I had to have one of my own.”
