Behind the Scenes of Five Classic Album Covers


If you're a fan of hip-hop or artistic creation, then you should already know who Daniel Hastings is. If not, welcome to class, I'm about to school you. He's a photographer and video director (shot over 150 album covers and more than 12 music videos) who made a name for himself in the 90s by snapping shots of everyone from KRS-One to Jodeci. While he once held a post as JIVE Records' art director for several years, Hastings is now the director of his own company, Atomicus Creative Group. These days, he's working on full-length films like the romantic comedy Love Potion.
Daniel took a trip down memory lane to shed some light on the who, what, when, where and why of five classic album covers he's shot. Like Biggie, he's got a story to tell.
