The Wanted in this photo show how some bands choose to position themselves in order of relevance in the band. In this instance, the lead singers who appear more in the songs are at the front, whereas the members who tend to offer harmonies are behind. We could use this with Little Grim, and position the lead singer and the front. This technique is very striking and engaging for the audience.
This image of the Beatles isn't posed, and suggests they are a band of 'real' music. They are pictured playing their instruments, which is an aspect we may include in our band photos of Little Grim. This is because it tells the audience that they are a band, rather than just a vocal group.
This photo of One Direction is conventionally similar to the above photo of Radiohead, but offers a different meaning. The band members are slightly separated from one another, seen leaning on each other, holding props, or having their hands in their pockets. This allows the audience to separately observe each band member, as they each covey their personalities. They appear to be standing against a white backdrop or wall, which makes the photo easier on the eye, and gives the photo a cleaner edge.
This photo of Radiohead shows all five members in a tightly compacted frame. The positioning of the band members allows the composition to work well, as they have taken close attention to the heights of each person. They appear laid back, which suggests the type of music they make, and conveys the personality and quality that it may offer. Black and white are usually related with formality, so the effect used may be suggesting that they are professional in the way they make their music.
