Yis Kid is a London-based photographer with an interesting new project Faceless Techno - photos of clubbers shot from the shoulders down. “People who go to a techno party aren’t the type of people who want a portrait photo,” he explains.​“Usually, most people in the techno scene prefer to remain anonymous. It makes them feel more comfortable to fully express themselves in terms of aesthetics, and be more playful with their identity.” The Face talked to the artist.

“In the wake of criminalisation, our nighttime and festival industries had become a massive success... It was still rave, at the end of the day. The spirit was still alive and kicking in the people who chose to get fucked up and go dancing together at every possible opportunity” - author and rave veteran Matthew Smith writes in his new photo-book of ​’00s clubs. Music journalist Simon Reynolds goes beyond the obvious: "In the public but intimate setting of the rave, private fantasies that can’t be expressed within the strictures of routine existence are enacted... We see people both losing themselves and finding themselves, building a collective dreamworld under the cover of night”. The Face invites us to step inside 'Full On, No-Stop-All Over'.

"When you are working with bands, who have no concept of time, you have to have lots of patience. I usually describe my job as 90% sitting in hotels lobbies waiting for people to turn up and 10% photography" - photographer Kevin Cummins says in The New Cue interview. He talks about his 71-track 4CD compilation 'Caught Beneath The Landslide: The Other Side of Britpop and the ‘90s', accompanying his latest photo-book 'While We Were Getting High: Britpop and the ‘90s'. A bit of advice he would give his teenage self - "be confident. Always listen and learn".

The photo of Kurt Cobain's head among dolls and in front of wilted flowers "distilled what this work is about for me: trying to interpret as closely as I can who my subject is, while at the same time staying loyal to my point of view. Marrying those two things is always the starting point" -  Mark Seliger told Guardian about his favorite photo. This shot is on sale as part of Christie's online auction in aid of charities combatting Covid-19 (bids close on 12 June), along with photos of Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish, Johnny Cash, U2, Jennifer Lopez...

Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Blink-182, and Cypress Hill are among the high-profile names who star in the new trailer for the upcoming Netflix documentary 'LA Originals' about tattoo artist Mister Cartoon and photographer Oriol. Directed by Estevan Oriol and set for release on April 10, 'LA Originals' is billed as “an exploration of the culture and landmarks of the chicano and street art movement".
