James Vickery - Overture & Singles
Creative direction & photography2020 - 2021
The problem
His soulful R&B needed visuals as rich and intimate as the records.
The fix
Three lighting worlds for his singles, carried across artwork and press, after shooting the Overture EP cover. Consistency and mood set for him to continue with.
Somewhere, out There & Hourglass 2021
Creative direction for the singles, their artwork and their press, photographed by Harry McCulloch. Three lighting worlds: coloured gobo projections over draped cloth, a single hard spotlight on concrete and saturated washes of magenta, green and blue.
