NME 60’S Photography

• The pictures on the following page were taken by John “Hoppy” Hopkins, a free lance photographer who’s photo’s often featured for NME over 40’s years ago.

The Smiths• The Smiths were a

popular band according to my market research , I decided to look into early photographs of The Smiths to see how photography has progressed from the 60’s to the 80’s. I am not particuallyinterested in covering the 70’s genre so I have skipped out that era.

Marcus Doyle

• Marcus Doyle is a current photographer

that puts a vintage twists on his photos, I

will use him as inspiration for the

backgrounds for my photos. Because

although his photography does not seem

relevant (he photographs landscapes) I

can still use him as inspiration for the

general set up and composition for my

shots .

I love the vast

differentiation in

colour

schemes, each

photo as a clear

cut colour.

My own photos

A while ago I took some of

my own photo’s based on

the neo classical, vintage

look explored in this

presentation. For my shoot I

am going to mix this look

with an edgy rock style to

go with the “alternative”

genre of music.
