You know how it goes. The reporter interviews - say she’s interviewing a legendary Finnish heavy metal musician Timo Kotipelto – and the photographer waits for his or her turn. Maybe the photographer tries to find a perfect spot somewhere nearby and takes a few test shots so everything will be ready when the time comes. Then out of nowhere some guy walks up in the middle of the interview and hits a three liter box of red wine on Kotipelto’s chest. You manage to press the button once before the whole thing is over. Mouth open, you stare at the photo saved on your memory card.

When the interview was over, I had from little to none-at-all interest on shooting those generic heavy metal poses we’ve all seen millions of.

I did it, of course, but only for the sake of doing so. The upper photo appeared on the paper the next morning.
