Beastie Boys, NYC, 1987

The lighting in Goldsmith’s shot brings out so much texture in their faces and jackets—it feels like you’re right there in the room with them. I’ve had it up for a week and keep stopping to look at the energy.

This print really captures that raw late-80s energy of the band; the framing feels almost candid. The paper quality is substantial, which makes the black-and-white tones pop nicely. It’s a striking piece, even if the price felt a bit steep for a gallery photo.

The contrast in Lynn Goldsmith's shot really captures the raw energy of that era, and the archival paper gives it a nice museum-quality feel. It arrived well-packaged, though I wish the frame options were a bit more varied. Still, it's a great centerpiece for my music room wall.
