Gene Simmons, 2016.iCons project for Elton John AIDS Foundation
I shot Gene in his home in LA. He lives in this huge mansion with one of the largest rooms being a collection of KISS memorabilia, from KISS condoms to a KISS coffin! He was pleasant to speak to, despite his catalogue of Michael Jackson jokes. But when he stepped in front of the camera he turned into a pastiche of himself, which was fun to see and capture.
"Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself."

ABOUT GENE SIMMONS
Born Chaim Witz on August 25, 1949 in Haifa, Israel, Gene Simmons first decided he wanted to be in a band while in middle school, after watching girls scream at The Beatles on TV.
He was in several bands before co-founding KISS with Paul Stanley in the 1970s.
Simmons later pursued interests in fashion, publishing, and acting, and starred in the A&E reality TV show Gene Simmons Family Jewels.
