Hey there! I've mentioned this on Discord, but I have enough boons on me to ask for some help here.

I need no less than three (3) photos of BotBrs doing stuff you generally see in stock photos. I'd like at least the following:

(EDIT 10/1/2023: Added more context and info from the convo below so that it's easier to see for all)

- one photo of a person using a computer, business or business casual attire and either a pensive or satisfied look on the face is preferred
- one photo of a person enjoying a cup of their preferred beverage, I'd say casual, but if it can be like fancy casual then it's better. Mood: relaxed and vibing.
- one photo of a person using a synthesizer, preferably a vintage one but even a modern MIDI interface can do the trick tbh. Full casual, you're supposed to look like an artiste lmao, and like, really enjoying yourself. PROVIDED BY Lotepamera!

All photos, as per the stock photo requirement, need to express happiness, enjoyment, anything a corporation might use to inspire the feeling of trustworthiness on publicity material. It doesn't really have to be super stiff corporate stock photo stuff, but I wanna approach more "alternate universe" rather than "vicious mockery".

I'd really need them to be high-res, so they can look the best in the end result.

(EDIT 10/4/2023: By the way, you can just make one of the 3 photos and you get the collab spot and my gratitude. 3 botbrs with 1 photo each is actually ideal)

This is for a PDF entry on the Very Rare Formats II compo, so if you think you'll pass from it yourself, you could help me out! I can add you as a collaborator on the entry if you so choose.

i can definitely get to work on this tomorrow afternoon!!

Sounds very entertaining! what vibe are you going for? Like are you wanting straight-looking corporate-stock-style shots of botbrs-in-disguise-wearing-corporate-stock-clothes, but doing incongruously not-stock botb things, or like botbers in their natural environment but trying to look as artificially cheesy and posed as possible for maximum stock energy? Both are hilarious.

I have some collared shirts and slacks and a Juno 106 in the shed (maybe not quite vintage enough, just looks like a daggy keyboard, a bit more 'slightly obsolete fax machine' vibe than 'retro vintage typewriter', but i only have a crappy mobile phone camera :/

For the person using a computer, business or business casual attire and either a pensive or satisfied look on the face is preferred.

For the person enjoying a cuppa, I'd say casual, but if it can be like fancy casual then it's better. Mood: relaxed and vibing.

For the person using a synth, full casual, you're supposed to look like an artiste lmao, and like, really enjoying yourself.

This is basically like, "these people no longer have a weight on their shoulders because they Hired Our Services" kinda shit

ok so we're going for at least semi-serious here, not totally taking the piss out of stock photos as a genre

it doesn't really have to be super stiff corporate stock photo stuff, but yeah I wanna approach more "alternate universe" rather than "vicious mockery"

oh i can definitely provide something... when do u need it by...

well Very Rare Formats II has like a month left, so I say uhhhhhhh within the next 2 weeks (so I have the chance to tweak the entry as required)

I might be able to do something once I'm back home.

Edited the first post for extra clarity.

i had a good crack but the ol' mobile canera just wasn't up to the task ☹
