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.

B with woman from a composited into the shot
I have to go with B. The position of the right hand makes it almost disappear in A and I found that bothersome, I had to look to make sure it was there. Something about the female models position in B where you have a little more of the ear and face, I find more appealing as well.
I would have to go with A as well
B leaves more to the imagination. Powerful eyes and a glassful of mystery. The microphone, ties the model in nicely with Sir. The jacket is a nice touch of sophistication.
A is a Sir pose – fun and goofing around as a player. B is deeper and more serious which would be more appealing to a more mature audience it seems he’s intent on reaching.
I really like both but see B as a comeback image of sorts. Well done.
I prefer B….Like the lighting better on the girl and the picture just grabs me more.
