Above are two of the photographs taken during the group photo shoot. We took a total of twenty shots and for various reasons we chose these two as the best ones.
We chose A as it contains all three band members in similar poses and shows unity among them. Image A is successful as it relates to the genre in the sense that the majority of the band members have long hair (a typical 'rocker' look) and instruments. By having just one guitar in full view of the camera, we link this shot to a photo of The Darkness. We placed Will in the middle as he is the shortest in order to balance out the photograph.
We chose image B as it is not as serious or posed which gives it a more fun and relaxing feel. We decided to show the band members having a 'fight' - which is common among rock groups - and we played on this idea to create an image for our Digipak. The downside of this is that they are posed too far away from the camera. If the image was more of a close up it would have been the better image as it seems to be something you would see on an advert.
