Raz Azraai // @dancefloormurder
is an LA based photographer who cut his teeth in the LA east side music, art, AND punk scene where he cofounded and photographed The GeoMetro Party, the notorious downtown warehouse party and went on his own journey as “dancefloormurder”. Though his DIY style is forever committed to the underground where he is often found photographing revolutionary subcultures in their authentic glory, he applies the same spontaneous approach to everything he shoots. The result typically being a highly-spirited subject matter that looks both disarmed and empowered at the same time. He captures a gritty realness usually combined with vibrant color creating images that feel both dirty, dangerous and expensive.
