Don't mind me just doing what I do every day: thinking about Aaliyah. vtobak
Fans of hip-hop music and its rich, influential culture and history got a long overdue special gift in journalist Vikki Tobak's recent bookAs such, the book received rightful praise for a more subtly graceful method of showcasing the genre's most iconic stars, from Andre 3000 and The Notorious B.I.G. to Salt N Pepa and Aaliyah.
17 years later, fans still look for clues of the singer, who, in her music and videos, flirted with darkness and light in equal measure, careful to never give too much of herself away — a pre-and-post-Y2K feat that garnered great fascination. Still, we wonder: who is Aaliyah? In a series of images featured in, we now have another piece of that puzzle, in contact sheets and never-before-seen photographs of the singer at 15 years old.
is a UK photographer who gained some insight into Aaliyah's enduring star power by spending time with her just as her star was beginning to rise. See and read about what he captured, below:The first Aaliyah shoot happened in 1994, think it was roughly November, late 94. And it was in [London's] Swiss Cottage Hotel, on the rooftop of this particular hotel. I walked into the room and there she was, sitting at the table with her press person and my friend Andrew.
As a British photographer employing distinctly British technology for shooting, how did it feel to capture a moment with her; to capture her aura then? Did you feel like it was your moment? Well, it was great, and she had a way about her. But I think her aura grew. In her youth, her aura wasn't physical, you didn't see it coming from her, but when she spoke you felt it, because her voice was so musical. The tone of her voice was really unique. And that's how she got you. She would say a few words and was just like she was singing every time she spoke, and it was so soft and lovely.I loved her songs.from her last album has to be my favorite.
