Instagram Takeover: Alex Massek

  • May 25, 2015

@riversideblues DOES #INSPIREDBYSOUND TAKEOVER, May 22, 2015

Whenever we can, we have photographers takeover our Instagram page for a weekend to talk music and show how their photography is #InspiredBySound. This past weekend we had Alex Massek (@riversdieblues) takeover. See either our feed or below on how music inspires his photography.

What’s up beautiful people! This is Alex (@riversideblues) checking in for the #inspiredbysound takeover. I’ll be talking music and how it connects to my photography, but first a little bit about myself: 1. I’m 20, born in Berlin Germany, and raised in Connecticut USA. 2. I take photos of whatever’s around me, but I’d say street is the brand of photography I enjoy the most. It’s challenging and unpredictable, which is what makes it so great. 3. I almost never take selfies, so I had to go back a couple months to find a photo of myself. This was taken back in the NYC winter when my fingers were numb from the negative temperatures.

Nyc offers experiences and views like no other. A city that embodies grit and beauty all at the same time. Some “People under the Stairs” is definitely fitting for this shot. Check out their song “The Break Down.” #InsiperedBySound

Day two of the #InspiredBySound takeover. This photo was taken infront of St Paul’s Cathedral, in London. For this shot I’m feeling some Soulection. The remix of ” Tom Misch – The Journey” brings some laid back vibes which embody the feelings of driving through London late at night.

Ramble on – Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin was before my time, but I started playing the guitar a couple years back and became a huge fan of their music. Whether I need something to unwind, or to pick me up from a bad mood, I can never go wrong with their songs. #InspiredBySound

Holocene – Bon Iver Nothing like a little Bon Iver to compliment a view of the stars like this. #InspiredBySound – @riversideblues

Under The Bridge – The Red Hot Chili Peppers One last post, I wanted to thank @gradolabs and @jongrado for having me! I thought this song would be appropriate for this particular shot taken under Manhattan Bridge. This is @riversideblues signing off! #InspiredBySound

@a24 asked us to build limited editions for Jonah Hill in honor of his directorial debut Mid90s. We didn’t have time to see it in theaters but heard it’s 👌🏻. (if you’re wondering why it’s Mid 90’s instead of Mid90s it’s because the name changed during production 🤷🏻‍♂️) | #since1953 1K 8

The GW100 had a nice holiday though they had to stay still for this photo longer than expected. Flicker-only lights and all... 1K 23
