Olaf Heine is one of the world's most acclaimed music photographers and has photographed music icons such as Iggy Pop, Sting and Jon Bon Jovi. In this interview from H&M Life, Olaf talks about what it's like to work with these musicians and how best to convey your portrait ideas so they are well received. Obviously this is a good skill to have when trying to get someone on board with a more "off the wall" portrait concept...like tying Sting up and throwing him in a pool with his mouth taped up. To be fair, I'm not sure that many people are going to be opposed to looking cool with a samurai sword like in his image with Snoop, but you never know.
We also get a peek behind the scenes as Olaf shoots a bit during the interview.
