A rare shot of Ice Cube smiling at the Wild Life Festival in Brighton, UK. I was at the festival to shoot another band but had met ICE earlier in the afternoon and was surprised by how approachable he was. I remember him telling me "You can't stay angry forever man" so I decided to shoot his set. Throughout the set, his stage persona was angry and defiant until literally this one moment when the crowd went wild after he finished "Fuck the police".
