Jesse Frohman "Kurt Cobain"
1993
I selected this image "Kurt Cobain" by Jesse Frohman for multiple reasons. This was the last professional photoshoot of Nirvana shot in August 1993. Not only that but this was eight months before Kurt Cobain was found dead. There's a lot of photos of Kurt Cobain and there's always that not caring look he gives but this one captured all of it. What he was wearing is so iconic, its 90s grunge at its finest, cigarette in one hand, bottle in the other, painted nails, everything just summed up to being unique. The story behind the actual photo makes it even better ,because Kurt showed up three hours later and asking for bucket ,because he had to puke. While taking the pictures Jesse Frohman explained that Kurt was coherent ,but at the same time out of it. Not only that ,but the pictures were originally supposed to be taken at Central Park ,but instead Frohman explained it was all improvised in a hotel basement.
