While researching photographers that have worked with artists such as Phillip Phillips, Mumford and Sons and Lucy Spraggan, I found Sam Jones whose images I intend to use as inspiration for my own photographs for the album. I have selected a few of his images which are similar to the type of images I want to produce. What I like about his photography is that the subject is shot in a natural state- while some may be posed, their eyes are diverted away from the camera, giving a more natural pose. This is the type of photography I like taking myself as I see photography as a way of capturing things as they happen, rather than staging them. Sam Jones' images are a perfect example of this. Excluding the first image, he also tends to use natural lighting to produce different atmospheric feels. While he may have altered it a little on Photoshop, the colour and lighting reflect the style of the costume and setting. The first image is slightly different in the sense that it is in black and white. It has made me consider the use of black and white in my photos, and I will continue to research photography of the same style and produce my own images to see if it would the genre of my album.
