Senior citizens, people of every race, children, swells in fancy clothes, people in rags \u2013 everyone was welcome. <em>\u201cThe early years were special,\u201d<\/em> Nissen reflects. <em>\u201cThere was a real sense of camaraderie and everyone was generous with their work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immersed in the burgeoning scene herself, Nissen was friends with most of the people she photographed. This created a unique trust and comfort for her subjects to act naturally, injecting a biting sense of humour and extravagant body language into her photographs. There are also elements of formal portraiture evocative of work by Richard Avedon; like Avedon, Nissen sometimes prints her portraits framed with rough outlines of thick black ink that give them an unconventional edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/A1FEA777-D1DD-4A76-B749-33E9002DDACB.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/A1FEA777-D1DD-4A76-B749-33E9002DDACB.jpeg?resize=750%2C1024\" alt=\"HARD + FAST cover\" class=\"wp-image-37652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/A1FEA777-D1DD-4A76-B749-33E9002DDACB.jpeg?resize=750%2C1024 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/A1FEA777-D1DD-4A76-B749-33E9002DDACB.jpeg?resize=220%2C300 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/A1FEA777-D1DD-4A76-B749-33E9002DDACB.jpeg?resize=768%2C1048 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/A1FEA777-D1DD-4A76-B749-33E9002DDACB.jpeg?resize=1125%2C1536 1125w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/A1FEA777-D1DD-4A76-B749-33E9002DDACB.jpeg?w=1172 1172w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When Nissen left\u00a0<em>Slash<\/em>\u00a0she embarked on a career in the record industry, working as a photographer and graphic designer for the four major labels \u2013 Warner Brothers, Atlantic, Virgin, and A&amp;M \u2013 for more than two decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>\u2018HARD + FAST\u2019\u00a0is the first official collection of work by legendary rock photographer\u00a0Melanie Nissen.
