Quick-tongued South African hip-hop duo Die Antwoord stole the show with their unstoppable swagger, razor sharp beats and obnoxiously catchy hooks.

Photographer’s Notes

Head emcee Ninja and his female counterpart Yo-Landi Vi$$er might look bizarre, but they can spit legit.

The lighting treatment for Die Antwoord was damn near perfect with ample front-lighting and moody, atmospheric back-lighting. By far the most enjoyable shoot of HARD NYC for this music photographer. My exposure was 1/500 and f/2.8 at ISO 1000.
