Band promo shots

[ThomBassmonkey]

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.

My new band Caterpillar after a recent gig:

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.

If only we could all manage without our guitarist. Ours sings too, so it'd be quite obvious if he dissapears.

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:

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...

Live shots are at least One Brazillian times better than staged studio shots..
IMHO..

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

We had some done recently, turned out quite well considering it was 9am on a Sunday morning after a heavy Saturday night!

Well, Dudley, but yes! Which is why it was so early, we had to get the shoot finished before it opened to the public.

We haven't found the *right* brick wall to stand in front of yet

[Rosh]

This is a quick one, simple cheap digital camera and tripod with 10second timer at band practice

It's not brick,it's stone.....................honest.

On second thoughts, that guy at the back with the moustache looks like he would kick my ass no trouble at all!!

Has the guy to the right of him in the black hat got a glass eye? Or two?

[hillbilly deluxe]

Err,no.
