Band promo photos
Music promo shots usually fall into a handful of unimaginative categories.
Indie rock band - Members lean against an inner city brick wall in tattered jeans and big coats and all look moodily in different directions.
Rave or hip hop group - members all try and get their sunglasses as close to a fish eye lens as possible.
Folk singer - lies in a grassy meadow gazing dreamily at the sky with a guitar and an accordian casually plonked nearby.
Etc,
However sometimes a band (or more likely their photographer) gets something a little more unusual. Supergrass occaisionaly throw up an interesting shot, the Rumble Strips seem to make a bit of an effort and Gnarls Barkley's recreations of their favourite films were genius - but here's my favourite from the past couple of years from Bromhead's Jacket.
