I came across Victor Cripes in Newtown a couple of weeks ago, heavy in the middle of a grungy blues jam like the kind I’d expect at a Black Keys show – my curiosity was peaked.


It could have been their unique portable rig (custom-built 1 year in the making), the hand-crafted guitar played by Matt, or even the beat-boxing flute player that is his brother Pete that led me to one conclusion: let's do a photo shoot for you guys


We took our time one day and I shot the way I love to – spontaneously, finding spots that felt right for their look and feel. The only shots we actually planned were those surrounding their van, the rest were improvised – the way it had to be.
