ThomBassmonkey Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 We had some photos taken yesterday and are waiting for them back with much excitement. Thought it could be interesting to see other peoples', and of course, no one should mind being asked to promote their band a little. Plus it's a kind of "show us a picture of yourself" thread, all rolled into one. Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Foster Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 My new band Caterpillar after a recent gig: [attachment=45018:14125_13...377436_n.jpg] For the photo to make sense, please read [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=80164&st=0&p=768765&#entry768765"]this thread[/url]. OK, it's not a proper promo shot (we're going to get some done soon), but there's a photographer at that night most weeks, and he's been doing some cool 'cross-processed' photos (lomography to the film geeks). I really liked this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that no one thinks I'm just hoping to be nosey without giving something back, here's a live shot of my band a month or two back. Obviously not a proper promo shot, but it is a good photo that could be used for promo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 We've been using a live shot taken by a fan as it looks much better than 5 blokes leaning up against a wall, none of whom are as young as they used to be New album out at the end of the year so I suspect we'll be looking for a wall in the next few months...

OldGit Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Live shots are at least One Brazillian times better than staged studio shots.. IMHO.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3V17C Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) in case you couldn't guess... we play Rock and Metal!! Its a couple of years old now but was quite pleased with this pic considering I did it on self timer with no flash and just a couple of stagelights! Can't really remember now but i think i had to photoshop in the little guitarist (with the goatee in the waistcoat) and also had to sort out the drummers camoflage tee-shirt, as despite strict instructions to wear dark/black items he went for white/light grey! Grrrrr (and knowing him, probably on purpose just to be awkward!!) peace c Edited March 17, 2010 by 3V17C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
