Ross Halfin - Photographer

[Cyan]

I can't believe that he doesn't have his own thread.

He's among the most legendary rock photographers alive today, and rightfully so when you study his work. (and for that I'd probably receive quite a bit of sarcastic scorning)

He's got a site where you can see loads of his work (but far from all of it) :
http://www.rosshalfin.co.uk

my fave one's has to be his Metallica ones (bias..and current avatar)

If I was to compare him to someone it would be Anne Leibovich in terms of having a easy recognizable style and great clarity and focus in his pictures.

I'm a bit busy so here's a few samples of Ross Halfin's work:
This one of Cliff Burton (R.I.P) is a very recognizable Halfin shot
Slash
50 cent
Steven Tyler
and one of my absolute fave Metallica goofing around photos

I can't believe that he doesn't have his own thread.

Its mostly fashion photographers that get posted here. I've not seen any fashion work, do you have any links or photos to post?

 

[Cyan]

Ooops I'm sorry.

^ no biggie, fashion and music go hand-in-hand. i mean, look at the early photos of madonna...no one can say that fashion didnt lend a hand in the impact of some of those pictures. and how punk music started a huge trend as well as grunge music, rockabilly, etc...

steven tyler looks great in that photo

Ooops I'm sorry.

nothing to be sorry about. it may explain why there was no post on Halfin.

the photography is really excellent.

i like the dark and messy frame/edge to the photos so you can tell they haven't been cropped or anything . . . the contrast is great too . . .
