Ross Halfin Photography Analysis

The iconic band The Clash here is photographed by Ross Halfin as well, it shows the famous, now very generic, pose guitarists like to pull in their photos. It shows a sense of dominance and chaos, no control. The blurred darkness gives a mysterious and brooding attitude to the image. 


This photo by Ross Halfin shows the friendship between two different artists, Miles Kane and Alex Turner who formed supergroup The Last Shadow Puppets. What Halfin has done is captured their friendship in one photo, here you see Miles laughing at Alex which gives us an idea of their personalities. Miles is a bit of a joker, whereas Alex is more cool and serious. The photo is set in what looks like an urban area, the brick walls gives off a more natural and casual theme, this makes the photo and relationship look more genuine and real. The only thing which is posed really are what they're wearing and where they are. Miles is genuinely smiling in the photo which gives us an idea on what the photo is generally about.
