“Ik werd ingehuurd om de publiciteitsfoto’s te maken ter ondersteuning van het album van The Cure, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. Ik bracht lampen mee naar backstage en zette ze op tijdens The Kissing Tour.” — Mark “WEISSGUY” Weiss
The Cure backstage in 1987, lights set up mid-tour, and you can feel the mood before the show starts. Print showed up crisp, and those Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me-era details are all still there.
The backstage lighting setup really shows in this print — you can see the shadows fall naturally across his face instead of looking like a studio shot. Bought it for my office wall and the paper quality holds up close. Feels like a real moment from the Kissing Tour, not a posed promo pic.
The black-and-white shot captures Weiss's signature backstage lighting perfectly—you can feel the raw energy of that Kissing Tour era. Frame arrived well-packaged and the print quality is crisp. Just wish the certificate of authenticity was signed by Weiss himself.
