Navigating the Coachella Obstacle Course With The Cobrasnake
From PinkPantheress to Fakemink, candid images shot by Mark Hunter during Weekend 01.
As Coachella kicked off festival season last weekend, the California desert buzzed with bold style. Headline performances drew in the crowds, but the real spectacle unfolded across the festival grounds, where thousands of attendees transformed the landscape into a living runway. This year was no exception, and no one captures an event quite like Mark Hunter, better known as The Cobrasnake. Through his lens, we got an up-close look at the outfits that lit up feeds the moment the weekend got underway.
Mark rose to prominence in the early 2000s by documenting nightlife and youth culture with a candid, party-first perspective. His photography helped define the visual identity of the pre-iPhone era, capturing everyone from underground tastemakers to global celebrities in his signature unfiltered snapshots.
