Biography: Peter Ellenby has become an institution in the indie rock world and much of his work is gathered in a recent monograph entitled "Every Day is Saturday." (Chronicle Books) An impromptu shooter with a fan's eye, Ellenby's photography embodies the same sort of freewheeling, devil-may-care attitude that underlies the best of indie rock. His arsenal of gear includes plastic cameras, fish-eye lenses, and an array of esoteric filmstocks deftly employed in studios, on locations and at live performances. One of his subjects described Ellenby's as a "Pabst-fueled Pollockesque technique perfected in the beer-soaked expanse between stage and fans."
