There was a rather long process to getting our final promo shot photos that we used on our site and album. We had to arrange a photoshoot with all band members, so had to book both George and the studio space. Eva took the photos and as none of us had any previous experience with photography particularly, we took as many as we could in as many positions as possible. We learnt that static shots with not much going on didn't work as well as photos where the model was doing something such as putting their hands in a prayer position like Robbie here:
Lighting was an interesting learning curve for us. We worked with three-point lighting to achieve the optimum quality of photos that we could during the photoshoot. We utilised the idea of silhouettes and took some great photos of the band's silhouettes individually. In editing we put three silhouettes together and made the final main picture that features across all our platforms:
As the days went by, we realised that detailed editing of every photo was not possible, so photoshop was only used to rid the pictures of obvious blemishes and a quick colour correct. We were then able to produce a large quantity of successful, finished pictures in a lot less time.
