The photographer Bootsy Holler is releasing a book next month called Making It: An Intimate Documentary of the Seattle Indie, Rock & Punk Scene, 1992–2008. Those were the years when Bootsy was living in the city.
She captures behind-the-scenes moments with artists who have defined Seattle’s reputation, from Nirvana to Fleet Foxes. In addition to revealing moments with lesser-known artists, Bootsy also shares pieces of own life as a photographer trying to “make it” in this creative business.
“Part of what I love about Seattle is that everyone is making their own art,” Bootsy says in the interview. “There’s nobody telling you what to do. Once I realized that, I started to look at myself even differently — like, ‘yeah, you have lived on your own terms.’”
