FILTER BUBBLE

Photographs of No Importance

Filter Bubble (NSFW)

Jay Mawson August 24, 2016

I guess I’ve been doing this long enough now to recognise trends and cycles. I consume enough media to distill & filter images into basic categories. If it’s a widely accepted truth that all stories are based on seven basic plots, then all the editorials I currently see are based on just one fucking story recorded on an endlessly looped 8-track. The one where a girl arrives at a photographer’s apartment, stands somewhere near a window and undresses. If the photographer is really good, they’ll have managed to live near an outdoor pool or in LA.

70s Editorial Test

Lady Diamond in the Sky - Manchester Fashion Photography

Jay Mawson November 18, 2015

There are a few things I really really need to do...

  1. Update my site...a years worth of great images to select from since I last had chance

  2. Blog more...editorials languishing on my hard drive and thoughts burning my brain

  3. Step away from the 70s...

I'm not going to compare fashion editorials to buses. That's too obvious. But here's another one shot in the last days of 2014 in Manchester's Northern Quarter...

Editorial Fashion Photography - Manchester

Recently I've been more and more seduced by everything late 70s/early 80s. Beautiful warm colours, soft edges...I don't know, blame Instagram.

First F1 race I went to was won by Senna in a McLaren. At the next one I saw, Prost’s McLaren led Mansell’s Ferrari over the line. I still have a photo I took of his Ferrari.

First F1 race I went to was won by Senna in a McLaren. At the next one I saw, Prost’s McLaren led Mansell’s Ferrari over the line. I still have a photo I took of his Ferrari. 31 years later I’m commissioned by @neweraeurope to shoot McLaren’s young British rookie @Lando ahead of his first race in F1. We took some shots with the Union Jack to run when he won his first race. Yesterday he became F1 World Champion. He looked deservedly happy celebrating with his team and his family, but to be fair I’ve been watching F1 for twice as long as he’s been on the planet so now I’ve met and shot a World Champion I’m fucking ecstatic. Photography completed. Thanks @lando :)
