Our band is updating our website and want to put up new cover photo and are looking for some good, catchy examples....not just the band standing and staring at the camera. Does anyone have a band cover pic they’re willing to share ?
thanks - Jim

Get a photo by a brick wall or the railroad tracks. No one has ever done that before.  |

One of the neatest concepts we used in one band was to have a photographer on stage during a performance shooting individual members from all different angles while playing. Each player picked the photo they liked and a composite was put together of all members. |

I took a "panorama" picture of our stage setup with the banner behind the drumset and NOBODY on stage! I liked it, and it became the main pic on our website! (We had tried to do a "photo shoot" in a warehouse but I was the only one who 'dressed up'. I got a little tired of people saying to me, "Why do you look like you're the only one who's actually IN a band?" so those pictures had to go away!!!)
We had someone take a bunch of live shots and put them on the Photos page so people knew what we looked like!

I like live photos showing the crowd having fun (and the house making money).

I'm a fan of the playing live picture. If you can ignore the photographer and just play they can be fantastic. I've only had one band that did that. I've got several of those photos of myself (narcissist) from that show in my studio.
Every other band did the brick wall, in front of a fence (basically a wall) or what I call "gang" photo. They all look cheesy to the extreme.
You could always find a crosswalk and Beatles that thang.

My "first" band (when I had started up again circa 2000) had its photoshoot in an abandoned telco switching center and on a downtown rooftop in Portland.

I might try to get a picture of all my guys in orange jumpsuits behind bars like at the end of "The Blues Brothers"  |

One thing we learned over the years, and Laker has touched on it above, is that it's very hard to get a group shot everyone is happy with. Individual shots edited together into a composite is usually more realistic.

In 1964, when the Beatles first became the phenomenon they were, there was an article in one of the magazines that had a photo of them on stage. The photo was taken from the ceiling, looking down on them. You couldn't see their faces, but you could see their setup. Can't remember if it was Look, Life, or The Saturday Evening Post. Hey, it was 56 years ago.
