Synopsis "Oasis the Masterplan"

'All bands have a different style. I never thought Oasis had a look. Other people did and that's cool. But I'll put tunes over trainers every day. Trainers last for six months. The melodies live forever.' Noel Gallagher 'As iconic photographer, adventurous fan and inside eye-witness, Kevin Cummins has always been where the cultural action is.' Paul Morley "Cummins, typical Manc, combining art with a good time, a sense of beauty, which explains the iconic shots of Liam and Noel in Man City shirts: memorable, defining images." - Miranda Sawyer, Observer 'No one has captured the look of alternative UK music over the past half a century more tellingly than Kevin Cummins.' Simon Armitage *** How does a band come into being? What are the myriad forces that shape their sound, look and identity? In 1993, Oasis signed to Creation Records and were shortly to begin recording their first album. The following year began with a masterplan - the creation of Oasis. At the centre of this enterprise was celebrated photographer Kevin Cummins, brought on board to help the band find a look that fitted their sound. In Oasis: The Masterplan we follow Cummins as he photographs the band as they cement their identity. Noel Gallagher's thoughts on football, fashion and music and his recollections of that formative year sit alongside those of Cummins himself. Throughout, we see how Oasis played with fashion and were taught how to pose and present themselves as they approached the summer when their first album, Definitely Maybe was released. The story from that moment on is well-known. Featuring 75% previously unseen images the book reveals just how effective the masterplan was to get them to that point.

Cummins, uno de los fotógrafos más venerados del mundo, estudió su oficio durante cuatro años antes de sumergirse en la floreciente escena punk de Manchester en los años 70. En las décadas siguientes, capturaría imágenes definitivas de Joy Division, tomaría fotos en vivo y retratos de David Bowie, y crearía una portada que marcó una época en NME con The Stones Roses. Sus fotografías para New Musical Express, donde colaboró durante más de veinte años, presagiaron el auge de las escenas de Manchester y Cool Britannia. Ha publicado 14 monografías aclamadas por la crítica hasta la fecha, entre ellas While We Were Getting High: Brit Pop and the ‘90s, Joy Division: Juvenes, Telling Stories: Photographs of The Fall y David Bowie: Mixing Memory & Desire. Su nuevo libro, Oasis: The Masterplan, se publicará en abril de 2025. Sus imágenes han aparecido en portadas de revistas, galerías de arte y películas internacionales, y están incluidas en las colecciones de la National Portrait Gallery y el V&A, entre otras instituciones.
