Q&A: Nabil Elderkin, Los Angeles

by Alison Zavos

How do you come up with a concept for a shoot? Is it generally a collaboration between you and the musicians that you photograph?
‘I honestly don’t really get too concept driven with my photo shoots with musicians. Though I have here and there when the project called for it, and will continue to explore it more and more. But unlike commercial work, where concepts are the key element to the shoot, I prefer to capture something about the person in their natural environment, where they are most comfortable, or in a moment of self, in a more documentary-type style’.
