From the series "The Photo Booth Project"

Noam Cohen and Boy Tillekens of the post-hardcore band Swain, captured at Oettinger Villa in Darmstadt, Germany, March 4, 2017, shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed 2016 album From the Long Dark Blue.

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 second frame in a sequence of four—captures a famously raw, intimate moment that has become one of the most iconic and celebrated photographs of the entire long-term project. Utilizing a unique five-second countdown with no second chances, Schorn’s photo booth captures landmark artists in their most authentic, unscripted moments.
