From early on I decided I wanted to create my live photos as works of art, singular to themselves, divorced by the anonymity of the moment and pose from the crutch of celebrity. Live photography was overlooked by the art world at the time to focus for the fame and flash of studio photography. I knew I could buck that. I’m like that: if twenty photographers say go left, I’m sure to go right. And so I convinced Mudhoney to use this photo for the cover of their debut EP, Superfuzz Bigmuff.

Yet at the same time it speaks to Mudhoney’s penchant for physical stage antics, to their athleticism (skateboarder, skiers, and surfers), to their penchant for sixties garage rock (the kind without the matching suits) as evidenced by their choice of guitars, pegged jeans,and Mardi Gras beads. And that hair! By leaving their faces covered in hair, it made for a wonderfully mysterious and intriguing album cover.

Charles Peterson Grunge Years NFT collection - Classics collection image

Classics. A piece of work judged over time to be definitive. And what is it but a “Charles Peterson photo” that comes to mind when you think of the grunge scene, or maybe even the nineties altogether? These are my legacy photos, the icons, the perfect outcome of the vision I was trying to bring to the world, no matter how small the subject seemed to begin with. I was an art student, so I leaned into it with that critical eye, no matter how sloppy it all seemed at the time. I always aimed high, with technique, creation, and concept.

Eddie Vedder once said to me, upon looking at an image I took of him, where his head occupies only a small corner in a sea of black, “Oh, wow, I never thought of it like that…” Exactly! The best art is a blending of mystery and beauty, constantly drawing you back in. Lighting is the emotion, composition the primal, and moment the intellectual. My hope is that I’ve succeeded on all three levels with these photos I’m presenting to you. - Charles Peterson
