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||
I would say B for the front, and A for the back of the album.
A is better photo, because of lighting.
In photo A light coming from right creates nice effect on guys hat. In B light source from top falling on hat ruins it for me.
Also, in A the girls face is in dark and thus it is all about the guy (mafia?) who looks womanizer.
But in B you can see some of girls face, which creates distraction photos main subject (the guy)? It raises question who is she? Girlfriend? Whore? Mother? Which is distraction.
Mother. For sure.
Take the girl from A and drop her in on the B image of Mix-A-Lot and you’ll have a classic shot that will be interesting for years to come. The facial expression in A is ok but nothing special.
BTW: This was a great idea to have viewers weigh in on the two shots.
B…It creates more emotion.
“A” for sure… Not only it has more “character”, but also it has more of HIS “character”…
