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…

OR.
B. With the foreground lady standing up…
Love to hear your thoughts.













really?! a or b? um, they are both “blah”..i mean, look at the background, its a huge cement wall, it looks like you shot this in your “parents basement”. both images are muddy and boring and make absolutely no sense. why are their these country western characters in a concrete basement? both images are LAZY. “lets throw some antlers on the wall and a fur rug on the floor, yeah, that will set the scene”… rather than shoot in a fitting location, you just did them in the easiest place..why didn’t you do the female golf images in the basement too? becuase they would have looked stupid…like these.
someone has to tell you the truth without kissing your butt every second 🙂
it has to be A.
B seems a lil bit familiar somewhere, A is a new, fresh idea, at least from my eyes. cheers!
Definitely A for me. The woman dominates the image too much in B, whilst in A she frames the image just nicely. I do however like the guy on the far left much better in B than A. Either way its very cool work.
B. Love the energy of that picture!
B… but only if you crop the girl’s head off in the foreground, then you’re eye isn’t drawn to her face and lets you look around the picture instead :0)
