Originally photographed for the Mercury nominated 2005 debut album campaign for Maximo Park's A Certain Trigger, this shot is part of a series photographed by Ian Davies. Inspired by the charcoal drawings of Robert Longo, Ian photographed a series of models/artists and friends in a style that was to show both caught energy and stress.
This shot shows Maximo Park lead singer Paul Smith. The photograph was used for the front cover artwork for the bonus cd Live in Tokyo, which was a limited edition 7 track cd originally offered with the release of the debut album.
'I remember first listening to the tracks from Maximo Park's A Certain Trigger, it was so obvious how great this album was, but my experience tells me, it takes alot more than just sounding good to make such a massive breakthrough. The band's raw energy personified through Paul Smith made the songs come alive - and through the great art direction of Simon Earith - we were able to put together a series of shots that captured this energy.'
