It's easy to criticise the details as having been done before, etc., but so what? As long as the photos fit with the bands image that's all that matters.

I liked the shot of the instruments on there own. That would make a great back cover of an album but very much like The Jam did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 [i]ALERT *** non-tits related comment ***[/i] I think its looks fresh, bright and striking (in a black / white prime colours way) and very professional. The band's look is sort of a mix between the Hives and Muse Hullabaloo era... imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timloudon Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I like the first one best. Where did you get these done? Enjoy playing at the pit of cocks... erm... I mean the Cockpit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) I really like the pics. Sure, they could have been improved with all the suggestions above but I think they look really cool. Blondie, but now and English. EDIT: Awesome gear btw! Edited March 11, 2009 by The Funk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 My sixty-somethings and I did a DVD the other day. There is no way I'll put it on Basschat! Nice one, though, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raze Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 after looking at the third picture my only suggestion is that you invest in some moisturiser sweetie those hands look dry as gandis flip flop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) As others have covered off embonpoint, oscular inflation etc, I think it looks about 85% better than most semi-pro band shots. For a first time, unpaid effort, it looks good. Skinny ties imply 70's power pop, drummer reminds me of Buckler. And I like the thing with the playing cards. Not so sure about the girly's 'uptown' look. Maybe try her in a slutty punkette stylee. Edited March 11, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheButler Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 You look like you play music that i wouldn't like - that doesn't say much though haha Another +1 though on the Cadillac Bumper Bullets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Looking at the pics are you sure your singer hasn't got a mouthful of something she wishes to spit out? I wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 That's about 100x better than most band's first photos. At least you all look like you're in the same band and the blokes are all fairly photogenic which makes a change. The first shot is by far the best and says everything - provided that you actually act like that on stage, and if you don't start practising so you can, right now! Loose the others they just sell you short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3V17C Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 yeah good pics, first one is best but would photoshop out that card/rectangle thing near your head as it draws the eye and theres no other ones at the top there peace c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 see I was intreagued and went and had a look at your myspace. the music's nae bad. The wee profile pics down the side of your page are great. The ones youve stuck here I dont like as much. The wee ones show you in your gear playing live, it looks natural and fun. The big one manages to bleach out all the colour of your singer. Compare her in red on a dk background to white on white. Also where you have tried to get away from a live shot it just seems like a live shot on a white background. Whats the concept. The cards and jigsaw pieces look odd, my guess is that at least some of them are photoshoped in. Also were they 2 separate photos stitched together? My guess is if the singer is standing where shes supposed to be you are a floating giant with an amp levitating a foot off the floor.... I may be wrong here though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work though mate. Some people are critquing it as if it's a professional shoot, which is fair enough as it's the standard you want to aim for, but for your first photos together that's a really good result. I'm sure anyone here who's done it knows how awkward and unnatural it can feel posing for a camera, so you guys have come off really well there. It's already been said, but hopefully the fact you've shown a bit of imagination will set you apart from the textbook moody rock band look we know all too well! I like it! *insert generic boobs comment here* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) Glorious effort for first timers, and would put many semi pro's to shame. Nice quality photos as well. I do have to ask though, the clothing choices for the instrumentalists and the singer? The band really look like a backing band as the singer doens't really have a tie in at all to the rest of you. She looks rather classy, and very '30s with the dress and the mic stand, however as others have mentioned, you lot do look like cut and paste indie kids. Not that there's a problem with that look per se, but it does leave me wondering just exactly what sort of music you play. Is it rock, indie etc.. if you go off the band, or is it more jazzy and lounge music with a foray into vintage pop going via the singer? Oh, and +1 for the moisturiser on the hands mate Edit: Nearly forgot: Lovely singer! Edited March 12, 2009 by Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheButler Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 They are really good pics, at the end of the day, leaps and bounds better than anything i'll do any time soon! I'll never get anywhere with music because i look like a camp, 18 year old pervert. I'm so self critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
