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.
I like A just because I feel like the lady in the foreground in B distracts you from the Band
I would say B – with the exception of the exposed broncolor pack
B- The story feels complete. You see the bar, one girl presumably passed out, one girl relaxing in the chair, and the foreground girl with a look of “Hey get out of here.
Also the guys on the back wall look more natural next to one another. In A the guy behind the couch is odd because you have no idea there is a bar back there. I naturally ask, “Why is that dude behind the couch when the hot chicks are in front of the couch?”
B for sure, the cover should tell a story, and B does.
B. although she’s really distracting. But then in A it looks like she’s trying to pitch a tent with her… bits. She’s a nice element, but I kinda loose any story with her in there. Unless she is the story. Which is why I would go with B.
I would say A. less girls more band. Subtle but sexy.
in b, they all seem to be hiding behind the girl standing. I also don’t like the girl coming from behind the guy on the left. In the middle, why is he holding the girl while sitting down?
