hahahahahahha well...hes not in a studio or train

If you never met him and know nothing about him at all, then how can you KNOW that he's an arsehole? Just because a few people on here said so? Chump.

Philippe is one of the nicest people I know......so what if he wants to have this as his press picture - that's his business. For you to call him an arsehole because you dont like it, is not only rude, but immature.

I'd like to see what you look like.....you probably dont even photograph half as well as he does.....

i like his hair, its fancy innit.

nobody except dubs has called him that, which yes i agree with you becka, is out of order.

What gets me is the person who posted the pic was signed to his label.
That's gotta feel like a punch in the balls.

philippe is a spot on bloke there's no doubt about that. he knows how to use the promotion game and i'm sure that pic served it purpose somewhere. but come on the issue is not whether a thinks he is an ass or b thinks he's cool, it's surely steve's first post - the overuse of headphones.

personally i have never done this on press shoots, cause i too think it's a little cheesy. but i suppose if you have a flyer to design for a big club night, you're going to love having a pic of the main dj wearing his headphones looking cool. it's gonna sell the night.

i mean i see what steve's saying here, a little bit more experimental and clever is the way to go, but that's totally personal preference. interesting topic but let's steer clear of just having digs at certain shots eh?????

[BRADLEE]

well this isn't a promo shot, but tis a pic of me looking funny with my friend Adam (kid Crpytic)..... Wouldn't exactly send it out for a flyer.... But just thought you guys might get a laugh at the funny faces....

This is a ridiculous photo, but philip is a really nice lad, for someone playing on the level he is playing, he`s surprisingly un-egotsitic.
But, that`s still a terrible photo.

[dirty_bass]

Here`s the train of thought.

DJ Indistinct "I need some promo photo`s"

Photographer "Ok studio or location?"

DJ Indistinct "Hmm, not sure"

Photographer "Well, any ideas or themes?"

DJ Indistinct "Well, I`m a DJ, so something DJ related"

Photographer "Ok, weeeeel, any more ideas? anything to give you a strong identity?"

DJ Indistinct "Well I want something that really represents my mixing style and my whole musical ethos"

Photographer "Ok so who are you?, what is your ethos? how is your style?"

DJ Indistinct "Well, I`m a techno DJ, and I like Techno. I think techno is great!"

Photographer (now bored) "yeah, uhu, ok. Sooooo. A shot of you in the photo studio standing there with your headphones on like you forgot they were still there or something?"

DJ Indistinct "Great!!!"

Photographer "Ok headphones on, look at me and pretend you have something poetic to say"

DJ Indistinct "Great!! I sleep with my heaphones on you know!!"

Photographer "riiiiiiiiight"

[DannyBlack]

this is mine, it wipes the floor with other promo photos. fact.

[Jackblack]

No one mentioned the old cliche of sitting on a record box as well!

Hilarious my friend.

no no i really hate him! lighten up mate:)

[TechMouse]

Maybe, in a kind of "fell-on-a-lawnmower-then-paid-an-art-student-to-sort-it-out" Nathan Barley kind of way.

No offence to the guy obviously, before anybody gets on my back.

Frankly, anyone with that haircut should be able to roll with the punches.

You can talk, I found your promo photo



If you absolutely must go down the cliche and rather stupid "headphones on my head while I`m doing the washing for no reason" look.

the at least do it with some style and make a feature of them

Like this



or this

eh? ive not been signed to Preach's label mate, nor do i imagine will i be

lets not take this the wrong way now everyone, no need to call the guy an arsehole at all whoever it was who did that, i here nothing but the nicest words spoken of Phillipe and rightly so, his music may not be to everyones tastes but thats irrelevant when it comes to the person involved.

No one is above a bit of ribbing though, and that pic is genuinly hilariously over pretentious.

doesnt make him a bad person though at all though, who knows the pic maybe tongue in cheek, but still either way, its a classic

[The Overfiend]

Didn't mean you buddy, no worries.

As far as that haircut, only a world class dj could pull that off.
I'd get fired and divorced for coming out with that one.

I think he meant Steve didnt he?...Ascend, thats preaches label isnt it?

Well it was Scot who posted the pic dude.
I`m assuming you are talking about me.
In which case
a) I was never signed to Phillipes label as far as I can remember
b) I didn`t post that pic
c) Are you telling me you don`t break your mates balls
d) Did you change the batteries in your sense of humour yet?
