Default Help for my first band shoot.

Hi everyone, I'm going to be taking some pictures of a friends band(It's basically promo material.) I've looked around for some ideas and have a good idea at some the the stuff we will attempt, however I am looking for any tips I can get by people who have done it before.

Thanks

Just a thought here. Take a look at some other artists album covers. Even if you don't like their music, the cover shots could give you some ideas.

A few questions that will help me help you...

- What type of music do they do?
- How many people in the band?
- How well known are they in their local scene?
