Sneak peek

Here is an image from a shoot I am currently getting retouched.

Night Scenes

I recently shot some night time city scenes over the period of about 5 nights in London and Paris. I had to edit over 500 frames down to just 4 for the editorial that it formed part of and ended up some very nice spares, a few of which i've added here:

Something from the Archive

Corinne Day

I only met Corinne Day one time and she mistakenly thought I worked for a retouch lab and asked me for a cup of tea! which I made anyway.


It bothers me when famous/recognised people die and everybody, especially people that have never even met or worked with them, pour out their grief as if it was a family member?! it happened with Lee McQueen and although I am no longer on facebook, I would imagine that it is awash with wall posts today.


I would simply like to put up one of my favourite images of Corinne's and mark the passing of someone who truly made a difference in fashion photography, which these days is a rarity.

Ryan McGinley

I really love this picture!!

Here is a new image I have just finished, soon to be up at www.joncompson.com

Lighting Diagram

The funny thing about having your work available on the internet is that other people can take your images and use them on their own website/blog, without asking your permission.


I found this image of mine on a photographer's blog in a post about different styles of studio lighting and diagrams to demonstrate how certain images where achieved.
It's funny and In the case of this image, completely wrong!! 

New Image

Another new image I have just finished working on, again no title.

Flower Skeleton

P.S the image was created without using a computer, cgi or anything digital.

Flower Skeleton

Here is an image I am working on, it doesn't have a title, but I thought 'Flower Skeleton' kind of sums it up?

Joshua Tree

A sunset on the road through Joshua Tree, one of the most incredible places I have ever visited.

Sunrise

Here is the opening shot from an editorial I did recently, the theme was sunrise to sunset.

Lancôme

Tour Eiffel 2

Here is the second image, from a series of three.

Showstudio

I missed this lecture/discussion but i think it is incredibly interesting and extremely valid to talk about the relationship between printed and online magazines.
My personal feeling is that contemporary/edgy fashion magazines will not exist in printed form within 5 years.

Peter Beard

This man is an amazing artist who uses photography in his work, but he is much more than just a photographer, he is a true visionary artist so if you don't know his work then google him now!!

Guido Mocafico

Another great still life photographer, Guido manages to find idea after idea without ever getting boring.

Nick Knight

As well as being something of a genius fashion/portrait photographer, he also shoots a damn good still life?!

Lancôme

My advert for Lancôme is out now

Image of the day

I really love the work of Luis Sanchis.
I'm not sure if this image has been created with post production or not, but there is something hyper real and engaging about it.

Barbie does Guy Bourdin!
