Graphic design is a huge passion of mine, and in particular I love making album covers, so I jumped at the chance to make an album cover as a part of the course. I had received a commission from the band Faraday Birdcage (first ep pending) to create an album cover for them earlier that year. On a holiday in Wales I encountered a very generous artist who upon hearing about my commission allowed me to borrow his (responsibly sourced) bird skull. So yes, that is a real skull, and yes it is a little weird to hold. I created the following album cover with a makeshift studio in my office, a lot of photoshop work, and some fun with a scanner to create textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the album covers I made a banner that could be used for Spotify, billboards, or website banners using the same process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a visit from the art director for Superdry to explain the brief we were set, I planned a seaside shoot to fit the summer theme. I felt at the time this would have the best chance of getting a summer feel when it was definitely not summer. Module scheduling, and eventually train strikes, put a wrench in this plan. I was faced with a choice, take some great photos but have them out of season, or take some mediocre photos and try and fake the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I chose the former and set out on a 70\/80s rollerblading shoot, embracing the vibrant colours of fall and my local environment, second hand Sony cassette boom box in hand I got from eBay for cheap. I embraced the film simulations available on my Fujifilm cameras as a starting point for my post production work and enhanced the final images with refined colour processing, photoshop fog and lighting affects, and some copy to top it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After discovering my local bar was having a cover band night for My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy I became interested in documenting the evening and the performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A friend had contacts with the band Mad by Mourning, who were playing that night and I managed to get their permission to shoot the event as their photographer for the evening. This was the first time I\u2019ve ever shot a live music event so I did a lot of research into other photographers who made their livings off shooting concerts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armed with a wealth of references, an overheating camera, and dubious back stage credentials I showed up to shoot Mad by Mourning, resulting in the following photos, and a slight headache from having my skull rattled by the massive guitar amp sitting just a foot from my head as I knelt in front of the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
