Apple Sessions I — Peter Steele of Type O Negative

Photograph captured by award-winning photographer and filmmaker Fran Strine.

Introducing The Apple Sessions — an intimate, minimalist portrait series capturing iconic artists in rare, unguarded moments. Apple Sessions No. 1 features Peter Steele, the legendary frontman of Type O Negative, photographed in a stripped-down, confrontational setting that reveals both vulnerability and menace.

This 11×14 limited edition print is hand signed and strictly limited to only 50 copies worldwide, making it a museum-caliber collector’s piece for fans of gothic metal, alternative culture, and fine-art music photography. Printed on museum-grade archival paper, the photograph offers exceptional tonal depth, texture, and permanence, engineered to last a lifetime without fading or color shift.

The image’s stark composition — centered around the symbolic green apple — creates a tension between restraint and provocation, a visual metaphor that perfectly mirrors Peter Steele’s enigmatic persona. Shot with intention and restraint, the photograph captures a side of Steele rarely seen, preserving a powerful, intimate moment in music history.

Each print is individually signed, hand numbered, and produced to the highest fine-art standards, making it ideal for framing, display, or investment-grade collecting. As the inaugural release in The Apple Sessions, this piece sets the foundation for a growing, highly collectible series.
