Below, is the New York Post’s interview with Elden. You can see more photos from the recreation shoot here. Earlier this month, Elden was paid the same amount to get back in the water. The shoot lasted 15 seconds and Elden’s parents made only $200, Elden’s father told NPR. Photographer Kirk Weddle was the one who originally asked Elden’s parents if he could use him for Nirvana’s cover, according to Time magazine. Nirvana’s Nevermind has one of the most iconic album covers ever but according to Dave Grohl, it could be getting an update due to the 30th anniversary, as well as a direct result of the controversy caused by a lawsuit launched against the band. It’s strange that I did this for five minutes when I was four months old and it became this really iconic image,” Elden told the Post. #nirvana #nevermind #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #pool #baby #recreation #spencerelden #grunge #music #band #albumcover #photography #photographer #pasadenaĪ post shared by JOHN CHAPPLE on at 10:15am PDT Check out my pictures in today's New York Post. 25-years-ago today, Nirvana's Nevermind album was released.
