Hard + Fast is a book of Melanie Nissen’s photographs of the late ’70s punk scene in Los Angeles.
Melanie and I edited the work together, going through boxes of negatives and prints—some images had appeared in Slash magazine, but much of the material had never been published.
The process was shaped as much by conversation as by editing; each photograph carried a story. Melanie had been my creative director at Warner Bros. Records, and we worked closely on every aspect of the book. I designed the publication.
