Growing up in the 80's, Harries spent his nights hanging around the Marquee on Wardour Street photographing the bands such as Fields Of the Nephilim that had been playing there that night. Eventually he gave up his 9 to 5 job to persue his career in photography that has grew to be one of the largest and most famous photographers among the rock world.
Harriers has a professional set of studio equipment that includes a 21 Megapixel Canon 5D MKII, a Canon 24mm-70mm and 16mm-35mm lens as well as Bowens lighting and soft boxes.
I chose to research Harries as he has great experience with music photography and that is what I want to experiment with by trying to reproduce the MTV Unplugged album cover that has a person playing an acoustic guitar against a dark background and lights illuminating certain areas. Looking at Harries work has given me ideas on lighting and location which is what I was looking for.
