Barry Sutton Studio

During the late 80's to early 90's I extensively documented the rise of the west coast hip hop scene. My studio on Pico Blvd near Fairfax was next door to Crains Records, an indy shop that specialized in Soul, R&B and Hip Hop. All the artists came through Crains on their PR tours and I would often shoot portraits of them in my studio. Tragically, my entire archive of photographs and negatives from this era was destroyed by USPS in 2015 en route to NY. Only a few images remain.
