Magnet – shot called indian banquet, a group scene that was never used – photo by Michael Joseph

Date of Photograph: 1970s

Magnet Dimensions:
Width: 90 mm

These magnets were created in Winter 2024 to celebrate the work of Michael Joseph, a renowned London advertising photographer. His bold, theatrical images were highly effective in capturing attention and selling ideas, even though his name often remained behind the scenes.

This particular image reflects the elaborate, staged storytelling typical of 1970s advertising photography — a richly detailed banquet scene filled with colour, character and dramatic composition. The photograph showcases Joseph’s ability to orchestrate complex group settings with energy, humour and visual impact.

Please note that the magnets featured in this listing are handmade using vintage photographs originally printed by Michael Joseph himself during his active years in advertising (unlike some magnets in other listings, which have been printed more recently).
