Making of the Digipak fold in panel

For the fold in panel I think it should be a photo of the artist, many indie digipaks prefer art to photographs of the artist/band that is how we have worked taking pictures and manipulating it to create an artistic concept for the digipak. Hannah and Radhika took these photos of the artist in a landscape backdrop. In the same process I downloaded the photos and weaved through them for the best photo of him.

Me and Hannah chose this photograph, for the fold in panel. We both loved the freedom and light heartendness of the artist, it felt honest and real that we could see buyers of indie music connecting with it.
At the photo shoot Hannah and Radhika had him sit on a ledge and cleverly arranged it with alcohol bottles and cans as props. Also loosening up his dressing made for a joyous image for me to work on for the 5th panel.

I had to crop the photo to the size of the digipak, which now only captured one of three alcoholic containers into the frame. This the same image I used in the first attempt of the digipak, only this time I sharpened it a little more to have the same emphasis in the sculptural detail of the surrounding, like inside panel 2 has.

Do you think the fold in panel works in black and white?
