I am representing the indie/rock subcultures and social groups, although not particular for a specific stereotype.
Similarities
Both connote power over there audience.
Arms held in same position, movement in performance.
Both intertexual to each other, because of position and self ‘image’, constructed to look powerful.
Lighting; similar studio lights although one clearer than other, contrast and brightness has been altered to look less sharp.
Side angle, on the right looking left. Shot type is a close up.
Low angles looking up towards the singer create power and dominance.
Represent their gender as controlling and attention grasping.
Costume; t-shirt or leather, both indie looking with long flicking hair and facial hair.
A deep concentration in expression and looking away from the camera connotes, it is less important than what they have eye contact with, also connotes they are unaware of the camera.
You say you are representing indie/rock subcultures, but these are quite wide ranging. In the image you have used you are representing a male rock singer. What aspects of personality, character, attitude etc does the image portray? Explore clothes, expression, gesture etc.
