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.

‘A’ is better for 2 reasons…
1)mix a lot is known for liking the rumps, so there should be no mystery and he should be “open” in the picture, which he is in A
2)the attention is on him in A, not the ass 😛

Photo A …. definitely a classic photo for an OG.
B is the best! It is all about the eyes! B will reach out and grab you if you don’t buy the CD!
For me A is the best shot. It clearly shows Sir Mix-A-Lot’s face, which for an album cover helps his brand recognition. B is a very cool shot but it doesn’t have the personality of A.
It’s A by a long way for me.
I like A best.
