Biography: Alex Fakso began his career in the early 90s as a skate photographer. He embarked upon a more targeted personal quest which led him to record the entire process of graffiti writers in action, in both train and subway depots. He lives and works in London, working on different personal projects.
Statement: In Heavy Metal, the Italian photographer Alex Fakso brings us behind the scenes of the secretive and low-down-glamorous world of European graffiti art, documenting the daily (and nightly) lives of that continent's most celebrated street artists--spraycans in hand.

Background info: Heavy Metal is a photographic work documenting the life and work of Europe's most celebrated street artist.
Connection: This photo connects to the urban theme because it cultivates the city life and urban style. I chose this image because it represents the street style very well and the shadow and edges of the lighting reflecting off of the man is fascinating.
