band photo shoot poses & visual branding

Here in this video is me (hello) sharing some inspiration in terms of band photo shoots and which poses you can adopt to capture the essence of you and stand out from the crowd. I cover what to do if you're uncomfortable in front of the camera or want to keep a certain amount of your identity hidden.
Good luck, go forth and take wonderful photos!

One thing that helps a lot is to practice poses you like and make sure they work for you and your style. This helps make them look more personal to you. Seems egotistical, but it's part of the musician life! Good video, keep it up!!!

Kick Toy yes for sure, it may feel awkward/silly at first but it’s about breaking that boundary aye 😊

Your tip about candid pictures reminds me of something I accidentally discovered when taking pictures of my friends. Not as a real photographer, just with their phone. Basically I start taking pictures as soon as they hand me their phone. Usually the phone doesn't make a noise when taking pictures so they don't realise I'm doing it. This means I often get pictures before they actually start posing which often gets some cool results. That's just my amateur way of doing it.

Your Band Is A Business a great example! You can get incredible photos from a phone these days and composition is everything so not necessarily that amateur at all 😊🙌 nice work!
