This is the exact type of shot I had in mind when i came out with this challenge. The lighting is gritty and gives that album cover look without losing detail. Having him in front of the sign was a perfect decision for it as well. Great job capturing that rock star style vibe with this one.
Great job capturing the perfect lighting in this shot. The artist are perfectly lighted while still capturing that stage light effect. It gives that feeling of the cover of live album and is exactly what I was looking for with this challenge. I love the amount of detail you kept in this in what can be extremely harsh light conditions and the black and white was the perfect call.

This is the perfect photo for this challenge. The Bokeh was used perfectly highlighting your subjects face and the detail especially his sunglasses. The lighting is also perfect keeping it slightly darker adds a gritty feel to it without it being to darkened and losing detail. Greta job on this shot!

I am looking for your photos of people that possess the cinematic grit and narrative style of a legendary album cover. It could be the moody lighting, the loaded expression or the subject looking less like a model and more like a lead singer about to break big. Whether it is a high-contrast black and white portrait, a moody colour scene, or a musician clutching their instrument, show me a human subject who looks like they have a story to tell. Instruments are welcome but not required; I am looking for attitude, attmosphere, and that undeniable star power.
