Remember when I did the original chasejarvisLIVE photo shoot way back in winter? If you recall, I was shooting the album cover image for alt/punk country band Brent Amaker and the Rodeo. We also did post production and editing on the images LIVE as well a few weeks after the shoot. Well now it’s time to print these suckers on a limited edition run of vinyl and there is somewhat of a debate on which image is better.
Simply put, and with no further explanation, I thought I’d ask for your thoughts. So which is better, A or B?
Vote in the comments. Also love to know ‘why’ if you care to explain. 500 px wide images after the jump…
[ also, reminder that if you like music and you like chasejarvisLIVE, I’m hosting rising hip hip star RA Scion (of Common Market and Victor Shade) TODAY in 90 minutes at 10:30 pacific/1:30 eastern (GMT – 8). Interview with RA and Village Voice/Time Out/Stranger cultural critic Charles Mudede, plus RA performs LIVE at the end of the show. Hope to see you http://www.chasejarvis.com/live today….]A. With the foreground lady laying down…
OR.
B. With the foreground lady standing up…
Love to hear your thoughts.
B.
A = looks like there are dead hookers everywhere.
I Vote For B !!! It is a bit more mystifying -I like having to look around for the Band-it is very clear who they are and very sexy at the same time-I think it will connect with the audience better than- A- looking at A I sort of wonder if they are cowboy hunters with their dead wounded prey??
>> B <<
I’m going with B.
I read through a lot of the comments, but not all, so this might have been covered: ‘B’ had the immediate impact on me, and thinking about it, it has two horizontal lines, the girl and the band/couch, both baiscally on horizontal “rule of thirds” lines. ‘A’ ads punch with the vertical line, and makes my eye wander more, picking up the band.
Yes, B. I never get past the woman in A.
