Photographing pretty boys

Serious young men

I had the pleasure of photographing a bunch of my friends on Sunday. They play in a band together and need pictures so people can see they’re dashingly handsome, should listen to their music, give them gigs and invite them home to tea with their mothers. Or something.

The band is called Acrobat, though they’re probably going to change it once they think of a better name. You can hear some of their music here. They’re looking for gigs and international management deals. So drop me a line if you’d like to get in touch (and i can skim off my 20% of the earnings).

Here’s a gallery of the photos. Some of them are serious, some happy, some silly. I’m not sure what sort of photo i like best, i guess it depends on the image they’re trying to project. Feel free to leave comments with your thoughts.

It’s the old photo over the ear trick.

Interpolesque.

They do happy too.

Like a rabbit in the headlights.

    Ta for the comments.
    Paul, they are Steve’s blue eyes, no contacts. But i must admit in that last photo i have enhanced them in Photoshop. I might post a before and after shot so you can see the difference.
    Darren, Steve hacked into his own hair the day of the photos. He don’t need no hairdresser, just a pair of kitchen scissors. So rock :)
    Portekgirl, i’ll post details of any gigs when they happen.

    yeh thanks Darren – Anna might sort the hair out a bit later – but i like it.
    Acrobat are playing at Candy’s Apartment (kings x) on Wednesday the 13th of October with ‘the machines of god’ and a yet to be announced headliner. I think we are on first.
