I’ve got a photo session coming up with a music band, not paid work just for a friend type thing. I’ve shot some portraits before but generally the subject knew what they were doing pose wise, in this case i’m not sure they will be, are there any resources or suggestions to research poses for a music band photo shoot (4 band members), photos could be used for promotional material or even album cover art?
If it matters the band is an indie/rock band.
I shoot bands and it really depends on the type of music and what their ethos is. You can go cool, moody, funny. So I would listen to their music and have a conversation with them about how they want to be portrayed. I do something totally different for metal vs soul bands. Then go find similar music and search their photos for some ideas.
