A while back I had Grammy Award Winner, Sir Mix-A-lot on chasejarvisLIVE. The guy is smart – dropped some pretty serious knowledge on the show [here’s the re-watch if you missed it].
At the end of the show, I shot the cover for his upcoming album, live, online. Here are the results.
The lead one that shows his face is my fav, but there’s plenty of debate, because the other shot is tough and mysterious. I’ll resist the temptation to make any real case for one or the other, and I’ll let this is a straight up survey – which photo do you like better A (top) or B (bottom)? (please answer in the post, not via other social channels so we don’t have to chase your feedback – thx!)
Here is photo A:
Here is photo B:
Thanks for your input.
||And if you missed it: Here’s the chasejarvisLIVE episode with Mix||
Jepp, the girl from A and the Sir from B.
In B is the girl to much eye-catcher and A is not “gangster”-enough…
Use Mix from A but the woman and framing from B.
Definitely go for A. A much better balanced composition. He’s bigger in the frame, and the whole look attracts much more attention. I think it would sell the album better….
I like elements of both – tough one …but in the end, I’d choose A: It “say’s” Mix-A-Lot.
I prefer A !
with one look you get everything in the picture. i like as well the expression and pose of him.
On B you have to look twice or three times to separate the Hands, the Glass and the face.
