I’m really excited to welcome Alison Braun to The Hardcore Therapist podcast.
Alison’s first camera, a Pentax K1000 was a gift from her father, who taught her how to see light and story. What began as an interest in landscape photography shifted at fourteen, when she found punk rock in dark, crowded clubs on the Sunset Strip—and found her people.
Her camera moved her from observer to participant. Starting with her 1981 photos of Wasted Youth, Alison went on to document the heart of the punk and hardcore scene—shooting shows, photographing for Mystic Records, contributing to fanzines like Maximum Rock’n’roll, and capturing a movement that was never meant to be preserved.
Today her work is represented by Getty Images, and her archive stands as a living record of punk, hardcore, and community.
