Elements of a Photoshoot

Depending on the size of your band, there should be at least a minimum of 3 and a max of 5 people in the band. This is a good amount due to making them all fit in the photo, being able to represent a band and also allows you too have many more photos (a different variety) too if there were only 2 in the band. First of all you most always remember the look of the band. Without a doubt this is one of the most important too any photo shoot or even any band. The genre that the band sings must be represented in the way they dress. For example, if The Clash dressed in the modern day pair of chinos, low cut t-shirt, vibrant colour jacket and a pair of vans, this would in no way match and just look absolutely ridiculous. Therefore when choosing the image of what they are going too look like or what there dress code is too be, you must always remember what music they sing. So, due to the band I am photographing, and they are rock/punk, I will either make them dress as something really stupid (the idea that they go against what people think of them) such as: clowns, formal/smart dress such as shirt tie or the classical 'skinhead' look. I think that all these outfits will capture what the bands image is trying too represent and put across.
