Portraits of Psychedelic Bands/Artists

I thought I'd have a look at portraits of psychedelic (or sub genre related) artists out of interest and to see what the general poses were. I have only chosen portraits with the subjects making eye contact with the camera so I can compare them to my own that I took at the festival.
















After looking at these photographs in comparison with my own taken at the festival, I have come to the conclusion that there is an air of confidence and cockiness almost that comes across through the way that people are holding themselves. It seems as though they are sure of how they want to stand and be perceived by onlookers and the viewers of the photographs, almost as if they don't care. The photographs above that stand out to me and those I would compare to the poses held by the festival goers are the top three of Anton Newcombe, Syd Barrett and Brian Jones as they seem very confident in their stances.
