Friedman, (Born 1962) considered one of the most important photographers of his generation, became well known for working with such rebellious artists as Fugazi, Black Flag, Ice-T, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, Misfits, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C, KRS-1, and Public Enemy, as well as old school skateboarders like: Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, Duane Peters, and Stacy Peralta, among others. Many of his photographs are recognized as the subjects' definitive portraits. His graphic documents of the movement in culture reveal the science of defiance upon which all are based. Friedman's photos reflect the spirit of progression and angst that defined an era. Not only was he in the right places at an extraordinary number of appropriate times, Friedman has helped define the moment and movements he was caught up in. His process was much more incendiary than it was documentary. According to Henry Rollins "The bottom line is that he was there at the beginning of so much cool stuff in so many different areas it's not funny." "Inspiring people, with integrity and rebelliousness." For the past quarter century, Friedman has been doing just that. - Los Angeles Times "One of the greats of his generation." - Washington Post "The most prolific photographer of his generation." - American Institute of Graphic Arts "The esoteric political and aesthetic conscience of his generation..." - Juxtapoz magazine Glen E. Friedman's captivating images demonstrate his remarkable eye for raw reality, talent and aesthetic beauty.
