What makes a good press shot/band shot?

Body_In_The_Thames [Edit] [Delete] 14:02, 16 April '13

I've been asked for one but I am very reluctant to paste my ugly mug onto things

but they don't want artwork so do I spraypaint a bike helmet and pretend to be a french funk robot or do I make a faux tribal mask and call myself bdynththms ? Or maybe stand with my back to the camera in protest or cover my face with a posy book ? Or just use a photo of when I was a kid?

or y'know, a 'cool' photo?

do good press shots exist? post some good ones
post some awful ones too so I know what to avoid, like these;
