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).

OR.
B. With the foreground lady standing up…
Love to hear your thoughts.
i love both of these shots, very much enjoyed watching you take these shots and do the post production,, huge fan of yours… while i love A… it has balance, story , and leads the eye to the lead singer,, and who Doesn’t LOVE the girl laying down in front, with that lighting.. i have to give my vote on B, it to me, has much more eye lead, with the band as the focus, even if indirectly . i love the girl in front, its excellent in comp.. the balance is incredible.. and i love how each guy is looking.. in this one you see her first,, and then automatically are drawn to each and every band member, it flows great that way , and i love the pictures on the wall balanced by the two on the left .. definitely this has more power to me~
B has more obvious space for text/titles/etc.
B. Better shots of the band.
B
I’ll go for B tho.
Nice Lighting & Composition. 🙂
