BRAD ELTERMAN: LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAYApril 16, 2010 So many photo portfolios to get excited about this week. The latest is Brad Elterman’s photo career which started way back in 1974, when the 16 year old Brad borrowed a friends camera and snapped a shot of Dylan performing on stage. Since then, he’s been riding the gravy train on cheese wheels; one sex, drugs, and rock and roll infused photo feast, where Brad has had the amazing opportunity to photograph just about every rock/ punk/ pop legend to grace the stage and my highschool bedroom walls. From The Faces with our man Rod, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, Devo, Talking Heads, The Runaways, Joan Jett, Kiss, Blondie, the Ramones, The Who, even Sean’s favorite band Abba…the list goes on and on. This guy has serious cred. Dipping his beak into just about every rowdy Hollywood party, Brad has made stellar contributions to magazines like Rolling Stone, Creem, Circus, etc. He was eventually hired to do official publicity photos by major record labels before forming one of the first Los Angeles-based photo agencies, California Features International, Inc. which specialized in providing celebrity coverage to magazines and newspapers worldwide. Brad’s photos provide a rare, often raunchy glimse into rock and roll history where it seems Brad is always at the right place at the right time, camera ready. There is even a photo of Dylan posing with a young Deniro at The Roxy in 1976! and Brad, by some alignment of the planets, was some kid with a camera. There might be a better chance of quadruplet albinos being born under a solar eclipse, than a cosmic opportunity like that happening again in a young photographers career. Vice Magazine

I flew to Paris to meet the editors and was so moved with the way that they embraced my seventies paparazzi style of photography. It is incredible how this type of photography is so "in vogue" today. I definitely plan on spending more time in Paris this year. I will keep you posted! My next stop will be to shoot a Gucci ad seventies paparazzi style. Thank you Emmanuel Cossu and the entire L'Officiel team!!

Paparazzo Brad Elterman takes the long viewThe Buzz Foto agency owner was there for the anything-goes '70s. His photos can be seen in a new book, 'Like It Was Yesterday,' and a show at Equator Books in Venice. › Download Article(PDF)YouTube: Interview by Photo Induced› Brad Elterman - Teenage PaparazziPress Quotes:LA Alternative Press City Beat Los Angeles Times City Beat LA Alternative Press A Photography Blog.Brad Elterman: Then and Now A little Q&A follows. 
How did you get started in the paparazzi business? I was not always a paparazzo. I shot for all of the record companies and rock magazines. I was friends with many of the bands and we all hung out. Back in 1975 I wanted to take photos of David Bowie while he was in L.A and I was turned down by the publicist. Bowie was such a provocative figure back then and every move he made was controlled by his management and PR. › Read the entire BlogHey, I just started a blog› www.bradbuzz.comGallerie Thoma & Thoma 2007I was contacted by Basel artist Marco Pittori inquiring if he could use my "Behind The Beverly Hills Hotel" as inspiration for one of his modern conceptual paintings. I agreed and I flew to Basel to join Marco for a group show at at Gallerie Thoma & Thoma May 2007. The show was a big success and we became instant friends. We hope to do future shows together in Europe and Los Angeles. › www.modern-arts.chThe Birth Of Buzz FotoThe big news is that I am back in the photo agency business once again. I started Buzz Foto with my brilliant business partner, Henry Flores. Henry has been in the industry for years and we make a wonderful team. This agency is all about making iconic photographs of celebrities for magazines and newspapers. We studied the market before we started Buzz Foto and came to the obvious conclusion that Paparazzi is what the magazines want these days. It is evident that when executed properly and professionally, this is an expectable form of journalism and it is not going away anytime soon. We promised ourselves that we would strive to have our photographers make beautiful iconic photographs which would have the potential to hang on the walls of MoMA one day next to the works of Walker Evans, Helen Levitt and Bresson. That is how we came up with Buzz Foto's "Paparazzi As An Art Form" and we are about to produce our very first "Paparazzi As An Art Form" photo exhibition in Los Angeles. We hope that it will be the first of many. Last fall, Henry and I were invited to speak in New York at the Apple Store, SoHo where we shared with the capacity crowd the stories behind our photographs. The showcase featured my seventies and eighties photos and covered all of the modern work that Henry does daily with Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Ritchie. › www.buzzfoto.com |
