How do you become a rock star?

Kess Bohan, photographer and director of photography, has been hauling his Bessa R2 at rock concerts and gigs all over the UK and US to do this reportage and portraiture.

How does one arrive at a rock star identity? "You find something that defines you," observes our man, "and then apply your music and style to it (like The Horrors, that very conceptual band), or just drink a lot (like Pete, the lead singer of The View)."
