This professional picture of the group their stance suggests adventure, captain Roberts telescope reinforces this, this also links with the steam punk as a genre as it is based around the Victorian era and technological advances.  The clothing also heavily reflects the steam punk style, it also show the bands fictional background as airship pirates. The inclusion of goggles also adds to the airship pirate theme and ties the group in with the general steam punk look. The group picture is taken in the rule of thirds; levels are also used, as Captain Roberts appears taller than the entire group signifying his importance as the captain. The others are on different levels not due to significance in the band but to give the picture more depth.
