The way I see it, for our album shoot, we can go one of two ways really, either urban or rural Americana type of thing. At the moment, its all up in the air as to what we will actually end up doing, as both of these options are possible and relatively easy to achieve, as there is a major town nearby to our school, which is situated in some fairly dense countryside. There is also a cemetery close by that could be a possibility, as well as some railroad tracks, although they are in use which could result in death, which would be slightly awkward.
Here is the entrance to Peaslake cemetery, I'm not sure if we will actually be able to use a graveyard for a photo-shoot, but it would make a good picture and more than fit in with the artist's gloomy image. It will also probably be raining, which will add to the dreariness.
This is the kind of shot that would fit in so well with the rural country genre so well, a chap in a Stetson reclining across the railway tracks. Of course, the issue with this is that there aren't any disused lines in England that still have rails due to the price of steel, and the trains run far too regularly to use live ones (though never when I'm on them).
Going more urban here, I thought the clock tower in Guildford would do nicely for a photo-shoot, it being quite old and everything, it would work for alt. country nicely. Guildford is quite busy though, which means someone would have to lie down to take the picture at an angle like the one above, but it could easily work.
And of course, the classic Americana neon sign in front of a dive bar. There's got to be at least one in Guildford right? If not there should be an abundance of neon signs. But then again, we are in England. Difficult one for image really.
