Ella is a Los Angeles based photographer, originally from Australia. Self taught and driven by other artists. She finds herself immersed in all mediums of art, whether it’s music, painting, writing poetry, playing her guitar. Passionate about creating and enjoying the beautiful landscape that the west coast has to offer.

"A lot of inspiration was drawn from the idea of adolescence… the idea of youth, carelessness and how we all come together as one at the end of the day. The term “Dirty Day” really spoke to me, I feel we can all relate to those fleeting moments in life that feel tender… yet you still have the dirt underneath your nails, the sweat on your back. It was raw and honest material that I wanted to capture. I knew I wanted the visuals to flow with the lyrics, I knew I wanted other artists to be involved in this project. To see everyone rally around and support, to see the group of young, passionate creatives I’ve welcomed into my life and vice versa was the most liberating moment through all of this."

"U2 has had a huge impact in my life. I come from a small-town in Australia and it was always my Dad blasting every album by them in his truck as we’d drive to the local ice cream shop or heading to the public pool. The amount of posters I’d watch him hang in our house, the amount of times I’d hear him sing “It’s a beautiful day” as I’d run to give him a hug. Bono was all I knew when it came to my Dad, I really can’t think of any other artist or band that I’d listen to with him. He came to visit me in the states a few years ago and the first thing he said was “When are we going to Joshua Tree?” U2 has been some sort of symbol in my life that connects me to my Dad, so this project was very emotional for me. I’m still pinching myself."

As a director, Dylan’s friendships with musicians inspire the worlds he builds for them. Memorable songs are made truly timeless by his visual companion that distills a moment in that artist’s journey. Loving the music enough to become it’s disciple is the foremost prerequisite. He puts the most underground artists on billboards for the world to see their potential too. Dylan even got to work with his all time favourite artist, finishing off Young Thug’s latest album roll out with a viral commercial teasing unreleased songs in a Lyft ride. Dylan’s portfolio demonstrates taste & ambition, regardless of scale— the same eye for exactness balanced by spontaneity.

"For Red Hill Mining Town, I imagined the effect a worker’s movement had to have on Bono in 1984 for him to write this classic rock ballad. There’s times when a common sentiment boils to the surface, capturing a tangible feeling on the tip of everyone’s tongue. That’s when we as artists feel the most urgency to use our skills. Making the parallel between what the song is actually about and the status of labor relations with freight workers was the aha moment. Highlighting the overlooked & underappreciated backbone of our country made me realize why there will always be a need for songs like Red Hill Mining Town. "

"As we looked for places to shoot, I went down a rabbit hole discovering the history of Cajon Pass— the first freight line across the San Bernardino Mountains. Shooting these landmarks, we met conductors, engineers & maintenance crew with a combined tenure over 65 years who validated the reason we were out there. Simply seeking their right to organize, our government's failure to address concerns grimly foreshadowed a train derailment which might have become one of the worst ecological disasters in a century."

"I distinctly remember showing my dad City of Blinding Lights on my blue iPod mini and hearing about the U2 concert my parents went to in Seattle some 10 odd years earlier. Needless to say they’re stoked about this one."

"My name is Phil Berge and I'm a tattoo artist currently tattooing at International tattoo studio in Montreal, a shop that I co-own with 2 other partners. I have been tattooing for the last 12 years and created animation tattoos about 7 years ago. Animation tattoos have birthed from my passion of traditional animation and traditional tattooing. The combination of the two makes interesting tattoo compositions that magically come to life when photographed and animated with classic frame by frame animation methods.

For the piece, I was inspired by the old days of seeing U2 music videos on TV. Which is why I chose to use a classic vintage TV with black and grey mouths that I could animate to make it sing the song. The TV then creates an electrical storm around them to go along with the main theme of the song and had more movement to the tattoo and animation."

It was wet for the second show in Zurich but its impossible to damp down the reaction to "Where The Streets Have No Name'.

'We knew there was something special there.' (Larry). Was it really thirty years ago this month that an album called War arrived ? Here's the second single, Two Hearts Beat As One.

‘When the lights go out…’ On the road, two shows down, next stop San Jose.
