Isaac Ferry.

Following on from the previous post regarding Bryan Ferry's facebook post photos, I thought I would have a look at the work of Isaac Ferry anyway. I found his website, http://isaacferry.com, and am glad I took the time to have a look at his work. Isaac is the 26 year old son of Bryan Ferry.

I opened a webpage alive with colourful images and interesting compositions. There is a good mix of styles, colour, black and white, portraits and landscapes. Ferry has a good use of lighting in hisimages, creating a good array of shots with dramatic shadows.

He also uses the shadows to produce a number of silhouette shots, which is actually great ti see at this point in the course referring to the section on making figures anonymous. 

He has some great gig shots too. I like his usage of the stage lighting to create such abstract images. He tends to take a lot of shots of the full stage, taking the images at a longer focal length  with a wider angle as opposed to blocking out the audience and focussing on the performers.This is a great idea, making the shots more about the overall show. 

Ferry has some great shots on his website and it's good to see a new perspective on photographing music events. I wouldn't normally think to take effective shots from the back of the room as I tend to focus more on the artists, however this is something I would like to attempt in the future.
