You know that website filled with awful promotional band photos? It’s awesome, right? Well, here’s a little secret for those of you who don’t dabble in the rave/club scene: DJ promotional shots are just as bad. No, really. Let me show you.
If I flash a gang sign, do my best blue steel, AND do some photoshop filtering, perhaps no one will notice the trainwreck…

Chicks in sequins dig DJs.

It’s just so hard, all the traveling, all the late nights, all the chained off exit ramps…

Hangin’ tough, with my rekkids, my headphones, my platforms, and my school picture backdrop.

MySpace, natch. I’m sure there are much much worse. I thought about starting a whole website, ala this ABSOLUTELY NSFW link. (seriously: don’t click it unless you’re home.)

I love your captions! They remind me of a montage of awful senior pictures that someone found and captioned — they had me laughing so hard I was in tears.

Oh my GAWD the man shots are HILARIOUS. I howled with laughter the first time I looked through them. Then I relived it all over again showing them to V. The comments are superb. Thanks for sharing!

I look at these and think - what photographer allowed this to happen? The people behind the lense get half the blame imo.
