Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked Marcus Maddox to share a taste of his taste on Perfectly Imperfect.

Marcus Maddox is a New York City-based photographer and bookmaker. If you’ve attended any local shows around NYC you’ve probably seen Marcus there snapping away on his digital rangefinder, but what makes his work especially interesting is that his lens is often turned toward the crowd instead of the stage. And for nearly ten years Marcus has been capturing the connection between people and the DIY music scenes they’re a part of. The photos he’s collected in Nashville, Philadelphia, and most recently New York City will be released in a trilogy of books titled Pom Poms. Lucky for us, Marcus is here to tell us what he’s been into.
