Metallica: The Black Album in Black & White by Ross Halfin // 3pm Downstairs
Ross Halfin will be in conversation with Steffan Chirazi about Metallica: The Black Album in Black & White followed by a book signing.
Official Metallica photographer Ross Halfin was in the recording studio with the band during the Black Album and documented the tour that followed. Between 1991 and 1993, he shot thousands of film rolls of the hectic performing schedule and many unique portrait sessions, backstage documentary-style photography, rehearsals, interviews and band meetings. This official Metallica book features many previously unpublished images, with introductions by Ross Halfin, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Jason Newsted and Robert Trujillo. Printed with a metallic silver jacket with block-foil lettering, it is an epic celebration of one of rock’s greatest creations.
Ross Halfin is one of the world’s leading photographers and has been photographing Metallica since 1984 and has traveled with the band to every continent and almost every country in the world, covering every aspect of the band’s career: in the studio, backstage, on the road and at home. He has photographed almost every major artist and continues to work and travel as first choice photographer for the biggest bands in the world.
Steffan Chirazi is the editor and creative director for So What! Magazine, an in-house publication for Metallica.
