I am going to be meeting with a friend of mine who is a songwriter for a major label and musician. He is coming to visit, and I wanted the chance to have a shoot with a real musician!!! LoL

So, what kind of pictures or setups would be ideal for a rocker? I want some studio and some outdoors. But I have no clue what to even do!

I know some of you can help me! :)

Thanks,
Lorrie

Maybe for the outdoor shot, look for an old brick wall with graffiti on it as a background. Make it a kind of back alley rock and roll look. If the alley is dirty (old papers lying around, garbage cans turned over, etc) it could add to the rock affect. I hope he is bringing a good outfit to wear too. Not sure if this helps, but just a thought...
Good luck and be sure to post the photos! :-)

Put him on a fire escape, maybe.

Hmmmm, what about one of those junk yards, you know, where they have all the old crushed up cars? That might make for some interesting photo-ops. Also, there's a shot that Nazgul has of a guy sitting in a chair outside, can't remember if it's in the middle of the road or out in a field, but it's always stuck in my head as a cool rocker shot.

Also check out Bobster Lobsters portfolio or website, he usually has some good stuff too.

Sounds like fun, post some photos when you can. :)

Thanks guys!

I will have to do some scouting around here. Where I live, it's pretty nice and there are not too many alleys. I know where there are alot of ratty looking alleys... but I dunno if I want to be caught there with my camera! LoL It's in town, and well.... town is not a very safe place to be.

I was also thinking about getting an old chair of some sorts and putting it in a field. Does that sound lame? Maybe the train tracks? But they can get to be so overdone.

No brick wall, dark alley, or standing on rocks shots....been done to death.

Make him read some inteligent book in a rocking chair, totally out of character or whatever. Make it look almost oposite of him. I love seeing shots of celebrities doing something you would never expect of them based on their screen personalities. Make him look like an "anti-rocker". I think that would be interesting...just a thought.

This site has a collection of terrible band shots...probably the funniest site on the topic of cheesy band images.

Look no further if you want to see What Not To Do...

I beg everyone at DPC to look at this site. Please.
It's a testimony to bad photography with many valuable lessons.
