This photo is one of Chris Saunders is an example of his band photography work. This photo is of Jarvis Cocker, Alex Turner, and Richard Hawley. Band photography is usually used for promotional material such as merchandise like t-shirts, cups etc, posters and banners for concerts or albums, or their profile on their website to explain to the people who are curious about the band and who they are. The guys inn the picture are in black and white tones where the camera is solely focused on them so that your drawn to the details of them in the picture as the the black and white effect makes the picture really dull and simple . The way one guy is stood further in front than the other could connote that he is the most important band member, and then so on backwards. The way the guy at the front is pointing towards the viewer could draw your attention into the picture.
