I've become infatuated with still photographer Zach Wolfe's videography. Basically, the dude is ill. Like a hybrid of documentary photographer Gordon Parks and hip-hop video director Hype Williams, he combines a sense of realism and intimacy with some slick ass imagery and editing. I imagine it's partly due to his technical know-how, his cutting-edge camera and his familiarity with his subjects. Because he's established a rapport with such celebrities as Big Boi from past photo shoots, there's no display of pretense — definitely no mugging for the camera, with just a minimal amount of shooter-subject interaction.
Peep his fly-on-the-wall footage of the recent Atlanta stop on the Sneaker Pimps tour featuring Big Boi's sons Bamboo and Cross backstage with dad and his musical cohorts, including Khujo (Goodie Mob) and C-Bone.
Near the middle of the video, you get a vivid sense of what must be going through Big Boi's mind in the moments before he steps on stage.
