Black Metal Meets Nude Photography

March 17, 2010

Using the momentum from the release of the almost-sold-out successful "Bring The Noise" photo book, which is a collection of band photography, photographer Jeremy Saffer sets his lens on a slightly different subject…

Combining his favorite sub genre of metal (black metal),along with his career-long work in fine art nude photography, Saffer has been shooting content for a new book and calendar series.

"For those who know me or follow my work, I work mostly with bands, and dabble in some fine-art photography, and being that black metal has had the longest tenure as my favorite genre in metal, it made sense to some how cross the paths of my work," he says.

"I am shooting this project in a few ways. I am shooting fine-art and fashion style nude images with corpse paint — very elegant, standard poses…but also shooting very metal/creepy poses — so there's a good mix of traditional and non-traditional posing for both genres."

Photographer Jeremy Saffer released his first book of photography in 2009. Entitled "Bring The Noise", the 120-page hardcover collection features 156 full-color band images, all taken from Saffer's extensive career, shooting music's best and brightest. "Bring The Noise" gathers a broad selection of artists, representing the varied spectrum of both the metal and hardcore scenes. LACUNA COIL, BLEEDING THROUGH, ALL THAT REMAINS, DIMMU BORGIR, BRING ME THE HORIZON, NORMA JEAN, EARTH CRISIS, BEHEMOTH and many more all make appearances within the pages of "Bring The Noise", which also contain a number of never-before-seen images exclusive to the book.

Jeremy recently started a behind-the-shoot video series — including the "Behind The Shoot of Behemoth", which can be viewed below.
