The following are some of the most interesting images of the artist we are creating a video for. Jamie T's visual style is interesting in its extraordinary representation of normality. Existing just on the edge of popular fashion for young males, without conforming to any particular 'scene', it demonstrates the characteristics of the disenfranchised youth of the 21st century, drawing from a variety of influences such as skinhead, punk, street and indie wear.
From fashion and photography to music videos, live shows and album artwork, this visual style (including those of other similarly 'ordinary' artists) will be the key inspiration informing our own decisions in creating the image of our own artist.
I think that it forms a perfect relationship with the style of music, described in a magazine as "the bastard lovechild of Billy Bragg and Mike Skinner doing his best Joe Strummer impression" - simultaneously unique and instantly recognisable.
