Adam Harding is a juggernaut in the world of music video direction with an uncommon ability to translate pulsing audio beats into hypnotizing visual feasts. His body of work spans across potent narratives and groundbreaking aesthetics. Harding's features have graced big name music acts like Warpaint, Best Coast, Bob Mould and many more, leaving a track of inventive production techniques and unique storytelling approaches in his wake. His work is as multifaceted as a prism diffusing light, bringing an iridescent depth to the videos he frames.
Dig a little bit into Harding's portfolio and you'll discover that his music video for Bob Mould's “The War” is nothing short of a cinematographic masterpiece. He magnificently illustrates the internal struggle of a punk rock star grappling with his past, with the aid of visually striking superhero art styles. Likewise, his direction of “California Nights” by Best Coast, a sun-drenched yet emotionally poignant piece, beautifully juxtaposes the light and shadow of a heart aching for the vast landscapes of California. Here's an interesting tidbit for trivia fans: in the video for “Disco//Very – Keep it Healthy” by Warpaint, nonchalantly interspersed within the dance montage are fun cameos of Harding himself, flaunting his impeccable sense of rhythm.
Harding's impetus is the ingenious ability to evoke vivid emotions from viewers making him a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. His command of elements like point of view, lighting and color is instrumental in creating immersive, memorable experiences. Never stringent in his interpretation of the music, Harding lets the melody and lyrics guide his artistic vision. It is an exciting thought to envision the next narrative that he will distill into his vivid color palette.
