Album art and portraits

A couple of months ago I started working on album art for an upcoming folk album for Sarah Jones. The album has officially gone on pre order for a 1st of September release and is available from Sarah's Topspin store.

The album has a strong personal, social and political message and as such we had to come up with a concept that would represent this while having an instant impact. So the base of the picture was made black and white with little elements made colour which draws the eye into each of the elements.




Each of these colour parts represent something of Sarah and the album with the pin-board representing more of a journey and thought process than being representative of a real pin-board. A preview of a couple of tracks from the album can be found on Sarah's you tube channel and is well worth viewing as the songs are simply superb.

Along with finalising this project I've also been working on a couple of web sites and a portraiture project about the people of a small Herefordshire village. Although I'm not ready to display any of these photographs yet I can reveal that it will be the subject of my first exhibition which I will be putting on in the village either in November or at the start of Spring next year so keep an eye out for more information on this in the future.
