Gritty Rockstar Editorials

The 'Music When the Lights Go Out' Portraits Star Model Musicians

The 'Music When the Lights Go Out' editorial graces the pages of the Spring 2012 issue of Indie #34 magazine. Photographer Sam Hessamian captures model-turned musicians in a gritty portrait series that is both striking and raw.

From the all-over inked Jonathan Kroppmann to Lana Del Ray's video love interest Bradley Soileau, these fashionable bad boys are known for their distinctive and memorable appearance and undeniably cool style.

From their long locks and intricate body art to their multi-faceted personalities, the edgy models prove to play the role of modern renaissance men. The 'Music When the Lights Go Out' Indie editorial strays from the traditional, embracing eccentric wardrobe selects and numerous examples of unique and unconventional beauty.
