Limited edition print of The Strokes hanging out in a bedroom at the Chelsea Hotel, New York in 2003 by photographer Jake Chessum.
Jake recalls, "If you wanted to shoot at the Chelsea Hotel you had to deal with Stanley, the owner. He was such a character. I arranged to meet the band there and Stanley said that nobody got to shoot on the roof because there were private residents up there. I asked: “What if we pay?”, and he said: “$800”. So I had to literally get $800 from an ATM. We went into his office on the ground floor. I handed over the cash, he put it in his inside jacket pocket, gave us the keys and said he was going away for the weekend. He left immediately. We were left up there, with Manhattan below us, and I caught the band just after their first album had come out. I still like those shots – proper young rock ‘n’ rollers at the ultimate rock ‘n’ roll hotel."
