The post hardcore band La Dispute sing in their song, Objects in Space, “… and when I was done and stepped back, I realised what I had made”. And yes, that describes best what it feels like to finally finish a body of art.

Is it a series? Is it a lifetime body of work? Is it a book? Per Schorn would probably say yes to all of those questions.

Over the last 15 years, he photographed 130 punk rock bands in his self built photo booth, and now this impressive project has been released as a coffee table book via the independent publisher Chromfeld.

Per presents a wide range of series, from former professional football player Neven Subotic, to electronic music producers and DJs Orkidea and Solarstone, an awareness campaign for firefighters, and lifestyle features about the casino and the pitfalls of the wardrobe.

The Jukes, whom Per photographed while they were waiting for the train, contributed the music for Per’s short film, Nothing 2 Wear.

Schnabel is a singular voice in contemporary photography – and he keeps it that way.

Perfectly comfortable shooting high-end global campaigns, equally happy on editorial assignments, and just as likely to disappear on his own with a camera into places like Eastern Greenland. He follows curiosity, not convention. Instinct first. Formula never.

That freedom is exactly why his work keeps energising clients, collaborators and collectors who appreciate photography with space, stillness, and intention. Collaboration with him is enjoyable, rewarding, and refreshingly uncomplicated.

Lately, Schnabel has been focusing strongly on personal work and exhibiting extensively. In this issue, we’re showing a selection of what happens when nobody tells him what to do. For commissioned work, browse his website or our previous magazines.

Lürzer’s Archive lists him among the Top 200 Advertising Photographers worldwide. Recent accolades include an AOP Award and ADC Silver.

Have a brief that’s looking for a distinct point of view? Call Schnabel – or his agents. He’s very into that.
