Massive Attack

London, 1998
I have loved Massive Attack for years and met 3D a few times but apart from the portrait of Horace Andy years ago I never
photographed them till this shoot for Details (USA). Although they are photographed in the 'blue' style the photo is not part of the 'fake documentary' series. I just felt that the colour matched the feeling I have when I listen to their music and I like the idea that they are not a unit like a lot of bands and here they are all looking into a different direction. The shot was taken in the Portobello Road area and the painting on the wall was something I saw when passing by in the car.
