Brad Elterman and the notorious Hollywood parties of the 70s and 80s
<< Back
Celebrity social photographer Dec 06, 2008 at 12:13
Brad Elterman is not your average paparazzi. Like something out of Almost Famous, his career in social celebrity photography began at the ripe old age of 16 when he was loaned a camera to take to a concert. His very first photo was of a young Bob Dylan performing on stage which was published in 1974 and for the following decade he spent countless nights doumenting Hollwood's party scene and the emerging rock, punk and pop stars of the day. These included the likes of David Bowie, the Sex Pistols, the Runaways, Kiss, Queen, Blondie, the Ramones, the Bay City Rollers, Abba, Boney M, Kenny Rogers, The Who, Leif Garrett, Michael Jackson and heaps more. He's also had his work pretty much published in every decent music magazine you can think of.

To see some samples of his work check click on the thumbnails to the right of this post and for more of his work visit bradelterman.com
