From the series "The Photo Booth Project"

Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß, frontman of the celebrated German punk rock institution Beatsteaks, captured backstage at the Jahrhunderthalle in Frankfurt, Germany, April 11, 2018, during a high-spirited session surrounded by friends and long-time collaborators.

Photographs by Per Schorn in "The Photo Booth Book" series are striking, high-contrast analog portraits that offer an intimate look into the modern punk and hardcore scene. This specific image—the final frame in a sequence of four—captures a profound full-circle moment for the project, taken exactly twenty years after the photographer first saw the band perform as a small opening act in 1998. Utilizing a unique five-second countdown with no second chances, Schorn’s long-term photo booth project captures landmark artists in their most authentic, unscripted moments.
