The Cobrasnake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cobrasnake is the pseudonym of Los Angeles photographer Mark Hunter. His eponymous website, which features candid digital photographs of parties, club nights and various promotional events, was known as PolaroidScene.com until the camera manufacturer threatened legal action.
Although Hunter appears to have access to every nightspot possible, he actually started shooting parties while still a teenager, sneaking into bars and scenester hotspots as a friend of indie rock band The Like. The website's popularity has lead to a weekly roundup of photos in the LA Weekly by Hunter.
His most prevalent photo subject is his friend and "intern" Cory Kennedy, an L.A. club kid and "fashionista". 21-year-old Hunter and 16-year-old Kennedy have been rumored to be romantically connected. Currently his photographs of Cory have diminished and he has moved on to photographing others.
Hunter was student body president of Santa Monica High School in 2003, after graduation Hunter attended Santa Monica College.
