Here is photographer John Wright who is the main photographer for Q magazine and has taken photos of everyone from michael jackson to pete Doherty, but he is by no means confined to musicians, he pretty much photographs whoever is the biggest news at the time. I have applied for an internship because works experience with a photographer at this level is so valuable and the connections i would make will help me to get my foot into the door of the industry.
He was one of the last photographers given time with michael jackson to shoot him.
Here's how photographer John Wright remembers it.
"I got a call saying Michael Jackson was in London and I could shoot him. I never thought for a second it would come off, so I was surprised when he did turn up at the office where we were doing the shoot. He looked exactly like you'd expect Michael Jackson to look: hair weave, military jacket, shades on inside.
"He was wearing a lot of make-up and he didn't have the healthiest skin that I've ever seen.
"He seemed fairly comfortable in front of the camera, though he wasn't jumping through hoops. I got a minute-and-a-half to shoot him, which is no time at all.
"My abiding memory is how polite he was - forgetting everything that's gone on, if you were his parents, you'd be proud of how you'd brought him up."

He is obviously trusted in the celebrity area because most photographers are out to ruin them, he makes them look good in the eyes of the public, all of his images are well photoshopped and use alot of sharpening which really gives viewers an impression of openness.
