Far One Press Shots

Birmingham Hip-Hop artist "Far One" has an album dropping soon, I took some shots for his album art work at an old warehouse in Selly Oak the other day, a bloody cold day but well worth it for the end results!

The story behind these two last pictures is, Far One is also a graffiti artist and wanted to show that ink is in his veins. Portraying the pen and ink as a syringe and him being an "ink" junkie shooting up.

I like the concept of the last 2 pics....makes me cringe though.

Far One was never a junkie...was he?

@witts_bntl said...

love the last two, i've always thought the cleverest way to make a metaphor is to take a cliche and portray it literally.

Graf - CHECK
New Era - CHECK
Warehouse - CHECK
Cliche - CHECK

These photographs are laughable as i suspect a 'wrapper' form Birmingham would be.

Oh and whats with him looking like Shane from Boyzone in the 3rd picture.

YOUR 'ARD!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, give it up witts, and pass on the information to matt and fats too. Photography is beyond your skill set.

Birmingham is Birmigham, i was there in 88 and it was cliche then. But the pics are nice and people are contributing to there local scene which is a good thing.

HAVE A DON - you sound the 'nuts'. is there anywhere we can see some of your work?
your opions are so insightful and deep that you must be a man on many talents. My only wish is to spend time talking to you about the finer issues of life and really getting to grips with one of britans greatest minds. your like the oscar wilde of 2009 but far far gayer.

The ideas are good, but the pictures just don't look good. Oh and the outfit he is wearing looks terrible.

I love the hate, feeling the second picture witts.
as for the rest of you, as it was already said, if your going to slate something post some creative criticism, let people know how to make it better? show some exampeles?
