STILL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY Jul 2015

John Bennett specialises in luxury fashion accessories and jewellery still life.

John studied film and photography at the Bournemouth and Poole College of Art. One of his first assignments was for British Vogue, and he has since worked internationally for fashion related editorial clients including Harpers & Queen, The Face, GQ, Esquire and Tatler. His prestigious list of commercial clients includes De Beers, Chanel, Harrods and Holland & Holland.

John's love of still life stems from a fascination with composition, the space between objects, the beautiful forms that objects create, and trying to make order out of visual chaos.

The work featured in this Spotlight is from a mixture of DeBeers campaigns: DeBeers 'Drops of Light', which were taken in the London head office and feature drawings by the head designer. Other images are from 'Making of' at the Jewellery Atelier in Paris and London, along with 'Pink Story' - a collaboration with paper creations from one of JSR's illustrators, Lydia Shirreff.
