A prototype table and chairs, but only one chair was available


Why isn't this apparently ordinary shot of a table and chairs all that it seems?

When the manufacturer commissioned John to do this shoot (showing it complete with four chairs in time for a trade show) as it was still in the prototype phase, there was only one chair in existence!

John created the original 5" x4" transparency, for the A4 leaflets, prior to the availability of any computer manipulation.

Concept for Fashion Display

Promotional Photography for an Exhibition launch by Punn


This was one of six photographs created for a young man's clothing manufacturer.


Miss Manchester United had been booked to appear at their stand for publicity purposes at an exhibition in Manchester. 

John was commissioned to produce a series of 5" x 4" transparencies suitable for both posters on the stand (and to publish as a calendar) to supply to all their retailers.

The brief details (as they only made clothes for men): -

  • Miss Manchester United was to be included in each photograph.

  • It must be obvious that her fashion was not included for sale.

  • She must not appear nude.

 
"...regarded as one of Britain's most original photographers."
