Street Photography / Reportage

Factors to consider when photographing music groups for Promo  / Publicity


1. Meet the band and get a feeling for their music.


2. Location casting with a personal connotation that speaks volume about the band, has meaning to the audience - socially, culturally and lyrically to illustrate a running theme of the musical genre and style (in this case Drone, Grunge and Noise)


         " Drone music is a minimalist musical style^[2] that emphasizes the use of sustainedor repeated sounds, notes, or tone-clusters – called drones. It is typically characterized by lengthy audio programs with relatively slight harmonic variations throughout each piece compared to other musics. La Monte Young, one of its 1960s originators, defined it in 2000 as "the sustained tone branch of minimalism".
