5 Rules for a good photograph

1. No cluttered backgrounds, so make it as empty as possible, make sure it is portrait rather than landscape
2. Make sure you focus on lead singer rather than guitarist for example
3. Leave plenty of room for a masthead, and dont put text or images over the masthead
4. No high angled shots becuase it looks distorted and out of position
5. Animate your band or subject and tell them to pose how you want them to pose
