1-Who’s Mike Schreiber, the man?
I dunno, someone other than me would probably be better at answering that question
2-So, who’s Mike Schreiber, the photographer?
I dunno
I don’t know if people call me that. I’ve never thought of myself that way. I just like taking pictures and some of my subjects just happen to be Hip Hop artists...
It’s funny because, as I’ve said in other interviews, I’ve never really been a Hip Hop head. I mean, I like a lot of this music but I don’t live and breathe it. I think that might be the reason why I’m good at photographing it. I’m a step removed and can see people and things for what they are instead of what their character is. I think the thing that made hip Hop so special in the past and what I’ve been most influenced by was the sens of individuality. the idea that someone just start a label, make some records and kinda carve out a life for themselves. It was a very do-it-yourslef kinda genre. And that’s pretty much how I’ve always been. Just hustling and trying to make things happen. Figuring out what works for me and running with it.
