■ "Villa Le Reve" by Brad Elterman

Brad Elterman pioneered a new style in the 1970s by capturing the true, behind-the-scenes images of many of rock's biggest icons. He disappeared from the public eye with the demise of the punk scene in the 1980s and was inactive for 25 years. However, as soon as he returned in 2010, he quickly gained over 18,000 followers on Instagram and over 330,000 followers on Tumblr, making it clear that the world was eagerly awaiting his return. Today, Elterman continues to photograph a new generation of musicians, models, and celebrities in his signature vibrant, insightful, and fun style.

This book features only his most recent work, featuring celebrities he has invited to his Bel-Air, Los Angeles, home, which he affectionately calls "Villa Le Reve (Dream House)."
