Forrest Black and I have shot members of more than one hundred bands, from The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Backyard Babies to Korn and Cradle of Filth to the Genitorturers and GWAR to Cinema Strange and Gitane Demone to My Ruin and Jack Off Jill. This is your month to join their ranks because we are running a super holiday sale special on band shoots!
The awesome deal: For only $600, you get a band promo shoot (usually $1,200) including high res final images of your band as a group and an individual shot of each member up to five band members. Processing and retouching are included in this package. You also get the benefit of Forrest Black’s and my art direction and vision. These images are guaranteed high enough resolution for magazine pages and CD art! Usually album art license is an additional $3,000, but that additional usage is 100% free with liner note credits with this special sale deal. Merch usage, such as T-shirts or buttons, is usually negotiated as an additional fee plus a percentage of sales, but it is totally free with this special sale as well. We will shoot images great for you to use for, not only magazine press, CD art, and merch, but also ideal for flyers and newspaper ads for gigs, online promotion, MySpace, iTunes, and design for your web site.
The killer rockstar images and amazing art we will make together: All of the example images below were shot by yours truly and Forrest Black with the exact style of lighting and setup we will be using to photograph you.
Eric Griffin shot in location studio we set up in a living room
Andy LaPlegua shot in location studio we set up in a living room
Godhead shot in location studio we set up at Marilyn Manson’s office
Tim Skold shot in location studio we set up in my hotel room
Diva Destruction shot in location studio we set up in a living room
Element shot in location studio we set up in a living room
Zeromancer shot in location studio we set up in a living room
The fine print: In order to secure this special rate, you must schedule a date in December or January and pay 50% of the base fee by December 15. The remainder is to be paid on the day of the shoot. We accept checks, money orders, PayPal, ePassporte, and good old-fashioned cash. If you have any special requirements for the shoot or timeline of how fast you need pictures, please let us know what they are when booking. We will attempt to accommodate anything you want. You will essentially be getting a $5,000 value for $600. In order to give you the best price possible, this is a no frills shoot. You will be photographed in a location studio set up in a living room, like the example shots above. We will not have people on hand to serve cappucino to your publicist. Each publicist, manager, or label person who wants to hang out incurs an additional $200 fee, unless either Forrest or I knows them well enough personally to have had dinner or a night on the town with them, on purpose, at least once. In our extensive experience, having gratuitous businesspeople on set just makes it much harder for the band to look comfortable in pictures and harder for us to create art. Same policies apply for girlfriends who want to shout suggestions. You are welcome to bring your own makeup or hair people. There is of course no charge if you bring your own makeup or hair folks. If you want us to supply makeup or hair, additional pricing will be based on what those individuals charge. You will be photographed against a basic clean background, white or light colored. We encourage unusual background color requests, but they may be an additional $120 to cover our costs, depending on the specifics. Additional band members, above five, are $100. Additional images with the same setup and outfits and makeup are $20 each if available without significant post-production.
Our shoot will be chill and fun and you will end up with beautiful publication-ready images like the examples above. To get your shoot date nailed down, just message the Blue Blood MySpace or email amelia@blueblood.net with the header subject HOLIDAY PHOTO SALE in all caps.
Possible bonus: and, if we have a good time working together and we like your stuff and how the shots turn out, we may run a feature about you on BlueBlood.net which is one of the most-visited taste-making sites on the web! Please make sure we have some of your music 
Love, Amelia G
PS Please pass this along to friends in bands you like.
Tim Skold is a smokin’ hottie! I never knew…
Oh yeah, he is AMAZING. His mom has that portrait of him on her wall. I was really touched when he told me that. I love when people’s parents like my pictures of them. It makes me really feel like I did right.
To be honest I had to google him cause I didn’t know who he was. All the google photos had him with a LOT of eye make-up on. Personally, I think the photo you took does him much, MUCH, better justice.
Wow, I just did the same and there are some nice pictures of him online, but most of the ones which come up first look kinda shockingly (given what he looks like) unflattering. He really is gorgeous in real life. Very nice and easy to work with too.
ARG! It’s the next day and I still can’t take my eyes off of him. He’s beautiful.
how come motherfucking ljdrama.com forwards here.
here i am wanting to make a big spectacle about the way i’ve used LiveJournal mostly to seduce women over the years and all i get is this shit with pictures of pussy ass men and writings so uninteresting that i don’t read them?
Suck my dick. And you’d better pay for the hotel room, because one of the LJ girls i seduced did.

(1) LJD forwards here because it is funny.
(2) I’d bet money I couldn’t afford to lose that the gents you see here can all get far more action than you do.
(3) You can’t know writing is uninteresting if you haven’t read it. Also, you post poetry.
(4) You are no Tucker Max.
Usually I give a warning to a woman who gives this sort of disrespect, but in the case of you I don’t find the need to give you any chance to learn how to behave. You simply don’t know how to behave. You don’t know how to behave. You behave incorrectly.
Disrespectful bitches like you are destined to lives of misery because they can only attract beta boys who enjoy being bossed around and will let you down all the time because they don’t know how to control themselves and do what it takes to satisfy a woman and you will attract disappointing men like this throughout your entire life because you are addicted to their bad emotions and the feeling of sexual frustration when disrespect them and boss them around.`

(5) Everyone knows that the best way to behave is to post about your fictional sexual prowess in a stranger’s journal. Ha, ha, ha, ha . . . not.
Wow. The pictures are amazing. I would but prints of a bunch of those. Especially the Zeromancer ones and the Tim one. They are really beautiful.
