Super Cooper
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of getting to shoot Alice Cooper at the ExCel centre in London. I’m sure it must be rather an odd gig for him as he was essentially the “turn” to entertain the crowds at the British Motor Show but he still put on a top show.
Considering this guy is sixty this year, it’s inspiring to see him living up to the legendary persona that he’s created over the last four decades. I’ve never been a great fan of his music (having been more into my Anthrax and Iron Maiden..) but there are some people that are worth seeing for their pure legend status alone. 
Following on from my recent post about shooting music, it was great to photograph someone who really savours the theatrical side of stagework with props, lights, make-up and all of the exaggerated behaviour that helped to turn them into such a living legend. Bravo, that man..
When schools out for Summer, what better place to visit than the Motor show.
Saw Alice perform in Perth…a true legend. Really great pictures (on the NEW mk3 by any chance)?
Cheers, m’dears! I’m proud to say that this was all still on my old mk2n bodies. No sign of new toys yet but while they’re still good enough to make you think my pics are on a mk3, I’m happy!
He’s playing Great Falls, Montana, of all places. Soon, I think because I think the fair is going on right now. Too bad I was in GF last weekend, right?
Yeah, I’m sure he would have been an enjoyable night out! Not many grandfathers you can say that about..
Fantastic shots! Any chance that I could aquire some of them in printable size from you? I’m a big fan/collector and would love to have them for my private collection. Let me know if it’s possible to make a deal. Cheers/Anders
Amazing pictures and they really capture that “lived-in” look on his face. However, he looks like he’s fast reaching the point where he’ll no longer need makeup to achieve the same effect
