Drawing from Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” Schaefer began photographing some of the albums on the list. He’ll be showing more than 100 images at “World Records” at Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles from June 8 to July 13. Schaefer isn’t a collector of vinyl or of turntables but works with collectors who allow him to borrow their resources to make the images. To create the photos, over the course of a year, Schaefer developed a special homemade light, but he’s keeping the technical details to himself. “World Records” is meant to pay homage to the era of analog acoustic art and to inspire the viewer to enter a nostalgic space when viewing the images. Schaefer wrote that although his taste in music varies, his favorite genre is rock ’n’ roll. And he’s not done photographing records. “I think it’s the best idea I have ever had and now it’s also a passion for me to continue,” Schaefer wrote.
