My biggest concern with these are how the band themselves look. I emailed them a few nights before the shoot asking them to dress appropriately and coordinate with each other. Not matching out fits but, coming from playing in a band that Tours frequently, its important to keep up your image. That in mind. Feel free to CC the images.

First, I'll just say that I really like these images, from a photographer's perspective. I dig the lighting and the processing; nice job.

Now, get rid of the brick wall. Seriously. It's been overdone to the point of nausea. Technically it's a fine photo, but lose it.

Second, what they're wearing looks kind of awkward to me. For me, I'd like to see some photos of them wearing something similar to what they'd wear when they perform. I just doubt that the one guy is going to wear a hoodie under a leather jacket while on stage. These are good, but I'd like to see a little more variety on their part...


Just shut up and smile...

Aside from the somewhat awkward looks the actual band has (and a lot of bands have that!) I recon these are **** rad!

I think number 2 is the pick here.

I like them all in some way.

Out of the series, I think I like #2 the best except for the pose from the guy on the right. Placing his hands behind his back just seems a bit strange to me. Maybe because he is the only one of the four posing that way.

1, 3, and 4 may also work well, depending on the crop and the "feeling" that the band is trying to portray.

I also hope that the graphics on the various t-shirts and hoodie are somehow related to the band, and not some other group/product, unless they really were planning on "endorsing" that other group/product.

However, at the end of the day, if the band is happy, you did you job correctly.


7Dmk2, Tokina 12-24 f/4, Canon EF-S 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, Canon 70-200 f/4L IS, Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS III, Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2, a few other cheap lenses, lots of little stuff, flashes, stands, and almost enough brains to be considered dangerous :confused:

I like #2 but since there isn't much color in it as it stands, my choice would be to convert it to B&W. You are the artist though, so do what feels right. I agree about dumping #9.

Seriously though, don't beat yourself up too bad. You gave them some basic requests and they didn't follow through. Not much you can do about that. The work you produced reflects the amount of thought and effort you put into this shoot. You did your part.
