Nelly Pointing at Camera - Boston 2004

Studio Archived Prints

8x10 Silver Gelatin Print

At the height of his career and fresh off his chart-topping hit "Hot in Herre," Nelly was photographed in 2004 for Teen People. On a chilly day in Boston, we set out to capture his dominance in the rap world. Seated on a gold-and-red throne and styled in classic early 2000s hip-hop fashion, Nelly embodied the energy and swagger of the era.

With his signature band-aid and bold jewelry, Nelly’s look became iconic, encapsulating a defining moment in hip-hop history.

Shot on a Mamiya RZ67 with Kodak Tri-X 400 black-and-white film, these images showcase rich texture and timeless depth, making them true collector’s pieces.
