U2 - No Line On The Horizon


I've always been driven towards music related photography. My interest in album covers is probably why. U2's newest album has an AWESOME cover. It literally grabbed my attention. No words, people, just pure empty. Bold without being bold.

Not a fan of minimalism? Well, I suggest you get into it. I have a major roadblock in my mind. What are some other minimalist album covers? I'll probably post a few more later on when I think of them.

The half white and half black motif is really great. I like the low contrast thing too. I've always been obsessed with cranking the contrast on my photos. Something like this reminds me that there's a lot of good about the shades inbetween black and white.

I have yet to shoot band promo shots and I hope that I can achieve at least half of what this guy gets! The shot attached to this article really stands out. I love the tones. It's just feels crisp. The off camera lighting is superb. I'd buy this band's CD based on this image.

Photo blog

Hi everyone. It's bongopix. I'll keep a blog going to compliment the website that I just recently bought. It should be up in a few days once the domain name registration process is complete. I'm not sure how often this will be updated but it'll be a place to relieve my photographic piece of mind.
