Ross Halfin

Ross Halfin is a British photographer who is best known for his rock and roll photographers that he has sold as postcards. These images have been really popular and have sold really well.

This image is of Joe Perry, lead guitarist of rock band Aerosmith the image shows Perry stood outside a building which on close inspection looks like some sort of church or religious building. This image is pretty good as a portrait but personally I'd probably not sell it as a postcard because it, in my opinion doesn't look very good as a postcard it would probably look better as an A4 or A3 poster which would be framed. I do like the actual image but not how it has been sold, I like his pose that he has in the image I think it is the sort of pose that a rock star would do and is very suited to his demeanour.

This image shows Iron Maiden, a British heavy metal band. The image shows the five members of the band stood next to a white wall with their shirts off. This image is good simply because it shows of what their are like, as a metal band running around stage or their music videos with their shirts off is kind of something you would expect them to do. But really it is just them standing against a blank white wall and I can understand why people would probably buy it but personally I wouldn't it doesn't interest me at all. Most people who would probably buy this would be Iron Maiden fans, some may buy it if they are a fan of Halfin's work

This is a collection of different postcards he has created people who feature in this collection including Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, Keith Richards and Marilyn Manson. This image clearly shows that his images have many different styles to them. It also shows that he does take some of his images in colour but that he very rarely does this. By the looks of it he also does from time move away from rock and metal but this like colour printing is also a rare occurrence. I personal wouldn't buy any of these but fans of the artists and of Halfin probably would.
