  Band photos are all crap.
  There's always the 'craaaazy' one, usually the lead singer, pulling a face or looking really mean and into it, whilst the others stand there looking awkward like it's a bloody family portrait or nervously half-interacting with the antics of the 'crazy one'.
  eg
  

  

  
  Defy or confirm this with examples.

  I've seen lots of cool band photos, this one for example:

  

  haha Off-topic, I still listen to Ratt's original EP once in a while. Good stuff.

  • that's not cool.– mg331/4

    No? How come?– dog_opus2/4

    see below– mg333/4

    actually, the larger version is OK, but in this post illustrates a smaller context like I mentioned below. :)– mg334/4

  All band photos are utterly contemptible cliches.
  Hey look its us, having our picure taken in/under/on/next to something that somehow highlights our shamanically different view of the world and the blinding light of talent that we bring into your life whilst still looking like people you worked with at that crap job.

  More clichés = Railroad tracks, abandoned buildings, etc.

  That's because they're just adrift in this cultural waste land, making their own, new way, with one foot in the decay of the past, building the bright brave new world of tomorrow, today.
  The cunts.

  Interesting topic. My band has been going on and on for months trying to decide on a photo concept. Something cool without too much expense.

  But here's where most bands fail, and the photo that dog_opus posted is a great example. Photos like that, when they appear in a publication, newspaper article, or show listing, simply CANNOT BE SEEN. The members are too spread out, you can't see their faces, and when positioned in an even smaller context the whole point is lost.

  I've really been paying attention to the photos that I've seen in local papers. So much FAIL.

  • Ah.– dog_opus

  Then don't have a picture, why should you ?
  You don't need a 'photo concept', you're not photoconcepters, you're musicians, if anyone asks for a photo tell them to fuck off.
  ".....but what Im asking is - if you HAD to dance about architecture, how would that go ?"

  It's just that bands at a small level never put thought into where the photo appears.

  Here's a good, "bad" example, from a local show promotion site:

  http://www.mpshows.com/admin/ima…

  http://www.mpshows.com/admin/ima…

  http://www.mpshows.com/admin/ima…
  This is a PERFECT example.

  • That's more orginal, but then it had just as well be a picture of 4 barbie dolls, or a goat, or lithium, ie NOT a band pic.– mikotondria31/3
