Henry Hargreaves, Rihannaâs backstage request for âhard-boiled eggs, turkey bacon, turkey sausage, at any time through out the dayâ from petapixel.com
As you prepare your âegg photosâ for your upcoming presentations, I thought you would like to share your thoughts on these still life photographs of unusual requests made by musicians when they go on tour. When musicians perform at major concerts, their contracts include riders that outline what they need to have backstage. These riders often feature requests for food such as Lady Gagaâs request for a âsmall plate of cheese (nonsmelly, nonsweaty), on ice.â The photographer Henry Hargreaves with the help of a stylist produced photographs in the style of Flemish still life painting, a genre that emerged in the seventeenth-century Netherlands. The photographs are stylish and give viewers a peek into the personalities (and quirks!) of different musicians. Read the article on Hargreavesâ Band Riders photo series and share what you think of his pictures.

You can see the entire “Band Riders” series on the photographer’s website (he has also photographed ‘deep-fried’ gadgets like iPads).
