Respect The Shooter: Snapps NY On Photographing Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar & More

Kanye West

“This was the first time I was able to shoot Kanye. I was shooting a Young Jeezy show at the Highline Ballroom for The Source magazine. I went in not expecting much. I thought I’d just be shooting another show. After a few songs, Jeezy brought out JAY Z to do the remix to “Go Crazy.” Unfortunately, I was stuck backstage and didn’t make it to the stage in time. A few songs later – after I had already positioned myself on stage – Kanye came out to perform “Put On.” It was one of the coolest moments of my life.”

“This was taken at a Big Sean show during his I Am Finally Famous tour. This is one of my favorite live photos that I’ve taken. Kanye came out with Sean to perform ‘Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay.'”
