So whilst deciding who to research for this assignment i decided to take a de-tour from the usual artist/designers and go down the photography/music route.
Bond graduated from prestigious St Martin's School of Art. He has been photographing bands for over a decade and has shot everyone from Gwen Stefani to AC/DC to Katy Perry.
The Independent said: "The British-born photographer manages to take candid photographs of the stars without losing any of their glamour. Often his subjects are portrayed in exaggerated version of themselves, or else he presents another side of their public persona."
When he shot Brandon and co', the shoot was a very dark and dismantled sequence. They were smashing things up, roughing up cars, roughing up people... it was different to their usual photographs of well-groomed men dressed like cowboys. Bond also shot the band early on in American music magazine Spin. These shots were very 'Seven deadly sins' The band were new to the scene so the shot was all about the glitz and glamour of the strip, how it's hard to steer away from the sleaze of the town and such.
