Band Photos

OnlyElise

I was recently asked by a friend to shoot some photos to market his band, so I took him to the production studio where I used to work and used the greenscreen room to shoot these. I replaced the backgrounds for some, but not others. After we posted them online, another friend (who owns an audio studio) told me they were interested in hiring me to do photos for some of the bands they work with! This is kind of a new subject for me, so does anyone have any suggestions for backgrounds, filters for PS, etc? These are the ones I've already done. Any input would be appreciated!

There's some cool shots here.
I would consider shooting on location in industrial areas for rock bands.
Bleach bypass filters always seem to be cool for these types of things.
Just watch you skin tones/white balance unless people want intentionally look red as in your green screen shot here

Thanks for the advice.

This particular band wanted shots in factories and other grungy places, but didn't know anyone that owned one. They'd snuck into one for a friend to take some pictures of them, but I'm not into being arrested for trespassing. lol In this case, just greenscreening them and putting the factory in the background worked pretty well.

I need to work on that reddish shot a little more... he liked it, but I think it's a little too much.

Yes, it could be an issue to be in areas where we are not supposed to be I agree. The green screen worked really well.
