Erykah Badu, Post Malone, A$AP Rocky, Drake. Almost carelessly, Jesse Koch lists the world stars he has recently had in front of the camera. The star status of the people in front of his lens doesn’t affect him very much anymore. “They are mega names,” he emphasizes, but they are mega names in a row of more than a hundred artists that Koch has already photographed. He also worked extensively with the late American rapper Juice WRLD. Closer to home, he often had rapper Bizzy in his sights.
