A Beautiful Flower | CD Cover Artwork for Mark A.G.

Latest Single from Mark A.G. | CD Cover Artwork commission

It was a pleasure to work with regular Client Mark A.G. (Singer / Songwriter) on a CD Cover Artwork concept for his latest single ‘A Beautiful Flower’

The concept for the song was inspired by a poem ‘What If You Slept’ and is about a couple who grew apart, but years later reflect on their lives when back to when even the hard working times didn’t matter because of their love; and the hope that if they dream hard enough then it will all be the same as before.

The cover image is a composite shot of 3 photographs processed and blended together using photoshop. The pink rose, the industrial landscape (deliberately left grainy for the cover) and the holding hands (again processed to make them look old and rough).

However, I can’t take all the credit for photograph of the hands being as one hand is mine and the other is my wife’s hand; and being a bit difficult to focus the camera and release the shutter when holding hands with my wife, it was actually my daughter, Sydney (and 9 year old protégé! ) who actually took the winning photograph that Mark decided on!

‘A Beautiful Flower” is available to buy on it on iTunes and Amazon now!

“Thank you very much for a most enjoyable and relaxed shoot. You made me feel very comfortable and interpreted my views and thoughts very well especially as you knew I was not comfortable in front of camera. I also learnt a lot too about how to get more out of shoot and better ways to stand pose etc. The two samples you sent me are fantastic really captured the feel of what I was looking for! wow!”
