Album Cover Shoot

Ofter discussing many ideas for our album cover shoot, we finally were able to shoot our album cover and although some things went to plan, we did have a couple of problems to resolve.

For our album shoot, we took a variety of photos, including us individually and us as a group so can we could experiment with our idea and decide what looks best. In our group shots we took photos of us all looking at the camera head on, and also looking straight on turned to the side. 
We then took individual photos of us head on and sideways both dry and wet. We tried a variety of shots so that we could test out what looks best on our album cover. We also tried to make sure that we all had exactly the same shot and framing to create unity between the band. The wet photos were the most difficult to do, because we had to keep pouring water over our heads to make sure it stayed wet and looked consistent. 
We also chose to have neutral make up, with only a small bit of eyeliner and mascara on, with some neutral lip balm to create a very basic photo, but with the bare shoulders and a white background to make us stand out.
We had some trouble with lighting with all four of us in the shot, because sometimes some of us were cast in shadow, whilst others were overexposed. In the end we decided the individual shots were easier to light, so they could be edited together onto the album cover, with the same lighting on each band member.
