“Streetstyle is my sartorial bible” –Chloe Sevigny in The New York Times.Without the Hipsters, Teddy Boys, Beats, Rockabillies, Rude Boys, Mods, Surfers, Hippies, Punks, B-Boys, Ravers, Harajuku Girls - and all the other streetstyle originals – most of us would be left without anything to wear. But the sharp suits, leather jackets, jeans, kaftans, flares, DMs, slick locks and so forth are only the visible, tangible part of this legacy.

I am attracted to people who find a way to manifest their obsessive qualities into something physical. Carnivores and Destructors documents people infatuated with the pop singer Morrissey, and the various dimensions of this fixation. I found subjects in less expected parts of the US like Compton, California." Adam Krause   This slideshow requires Adobe Flash Player 8.0 (or higher).

These facinating yet disturbing portraits of Racist Skinheads in Greenpoint, Brooklyn NYC, show the uncomfortable side of racism which still exists today's western society and which most people try and ignore or sweep under the carpet. The study is made even more poignant given the photographer's cultural background. "In the summer of 2009 I came across a group of Nazi skinheads while working out at my local gym, I starting talking to them after recognizing their racist punk band t-shirts. They gave me access to their homes and their lives, which was a very strange place to be for someone like myself who grew up in a very strict Jewish family, with four grandparents who survived the Holocaust."… Read More
