Photographic Influences

Julia Kennedy:
A London based fashion photographer who's clients include ASOS, Elle Magazine, The Black Eyed Peas and The Noisettes. I have looked at this fashion photographer for inspiration as I like the style of her photographs. However, realistically I would not be able to create these effects and they aren't music related but I can take inspiration from the colour palettes, style, positioning and general composition of the photographs. I particularly like the picture where the model is wearing a top with the coca cola logo on. I like the pose, styling and camera effect with the background around the model highlighted, creating a shadow effect.





Ami Barwell:
A 'Rock'N'Roll' Photographer from Yorkshire, who has been photographing within the music industry for oer 10 years. Clients include Radiohead, Ian Brown, Kings of Leon, Snow Patrol and REM. I like the striking contrast from the black and white effect in the photo and the way shadows fall on to some faces, so this is definitely something that will inspire me when planning and taking my photographs. Being a music photographer and particularly with Rock'N'Roll being close to my genre I will definitely use these as inspiration.


Michael Williams:
Photographer from Manchester, known for portraits of musicians such as Kasabian, Oasis, The Killers, Pixie Lott and La Roux. Also photographs icons from fashion, sport and film. He has photographed for music publications NME and Clash. I like theses phtotographs and how they are quite intense, most likely because of the lighting. I particularly like the spotlight on Pixie Lott and how the the picture fades out.
