Similar album covers to ours

We are going to take ideas from the following album covers to make our own. It will likely have a guitar and our artist on it, as these are mainly what organic album covers look like.
These will help us determine the location, brightness and pose our artist undertakes in the photo shoot. However, we are likely to use a darker coloured pictured to show the emotion of the album, therefore the audience can have a feel of what the album will be like and sympathise with the artist before they listen to the songs. 





In these album covers, the artists name is never directly in the middle. This may be because it could interrupt the image, and so they are better off having the name of the album/singer in a corner or away from an important part of the picture e.g. covering the face.
The clothing in these images are all black or white. This shows the organic image that the artists represent, as well as potentially showing the mood of their music. Also, there's never any props in the picture; besides from a microphone. Once again, this microphone further represents the singer being organic, and having no props may also show that the image is creative and that their music is meaningful. Most album covers with the star image similar to ours have a blank background - this could show that the singer is organic.
The images of the artists are all taken so the artist looks like he wasn't posing i.e. they are all natural actions. For example, the first image suggests that he is about to walk out the door, the second one shows he could've been about to start singing, and the last shows that they want us to believe that he wasn't really ready for 2 of the pictures.
