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).

With the foreground lady laying down…
OR.
B. With the foreground lady standing up…
Love to hear your thoughts.
A. Definitely! Visually stronger in my opinion.
Pic A. I like the ambiguity. Why is the lady in the foreground lying down? What has happened to the one in the man’s arms?
The composition in Pic B is crowded in comparison to A. The cover will have to accommodate some copy – group name / album title. A is better suited to the task.
A – definitely for the album cover!
B – is very interesting on it’s own, but I would ask the “model” to make an action move/pose like “Stop the Camera!” or “No pictures!” (you got the idea 🙂
also… in b he’s like “what do i do with this chick??” whereas in A he’s like, ok lets hawk her outta here she’s done lol action men!
A. A A A. i think it’s already been explained. it highlights all the right things. in b the poor guy on the right is being smacked out of the picture. and all i see is girl. the bad looks like furniture in b. depends what ur going for but for an album cover A all the way.
“do it”
