R+P Post 22: Planning my promo shots

Promo shots are a very important element when it comes to artist albums and websites. They are what the audience first see when choosing an album and they add intrigue and excitement when looking at a website.

To the left is a collation of album covers and promo shots from a variety of artists. The one thing they all have in common is that they are vibrant and colourful and place the artist as the focal point.



These are the main things that we want to focus of when taking our promo shots, with photos of the duo together as well as individually. To make sure that our album cover is synergistic with our website, we will use the same colour scheme for our promo shots. Another aim that we have, is to create a range of hair and make up looks for both the boy and girl in order to make the shots interesting and ensure they aren't monotonous.
