Oasis Photographers Reflect on the Band’s Early Days and Growing Stardom

Photographers Kevin Cummins, Michael Spencer Jones, and Jill Furmanovsky, who worked with Oasis throughout their rise to fame, reflect on their experiences with the band in the early 1990s. Michael Spencer Jones recalls meeting Oasis in 1993, just as they were starting to make waves in the music scene. Despite initial reluctance, the photographer was struck by the band’s energy, particularly Noel Gallagher’s evident star quality. He shot the covers for Oasis’ first three albums, which defined the band’s image during their peak years. Jill Furmanovsky, who worked with Oasis in 1994, highlights Noel Gallagher’s foresight in documenting their journey and notes the importance of candid shots that captured the raw, behind-the-scenes moments of the band. Kevin Cummins also remembers the early days of Oasis as chaotic but thrilling, sharing anecdotes about the band’s mischief on tour and their sibling dynamics. As Oasis embarks on a reunion tour, all three photographers express their excitement about the revival of the band and the renewed energy it brings to fans. The photographers also share their hopes for the future of Oasis and the significance of the band’s legacy in rock history.
