I would like to know when they take pictures of musicians and/or bands, 90% percent of the time they are just staring into the camera, or even looking angry. I see them as acting “serious”, like, “We are a SERIOUS band! Want smiles, listen to the Bee Gees!”
I think you’re pretty close to the truth. Nobody want’s to be mistaken for the BGs.
Come on, even the Bee Gees have 90% staring/serious pictures.
As an alternative I’ll offer the cover of the ELO album On the Third Day in which the band members are inexplicibly showcasing their navels while staring and looking serious/angry.
