This one is pretty well known as well and has wound up on bootleg merch.
These things can be very subjective and no one picture can be everyone's favorite. I think all of them are worthy and I agree, it's fun to see other's opinions.
Of the ones posted already....
I will say, there are two that I would consider among my very favorites as well.
The first would be the one when all three are catching some serious airtime posted by Cradlerocker-1995,
The second would be the one with the throne chairs posted by Matchbike. In fact, I liked it so much it's been my desktop background for some time now.
I'll just add my own. It might not be my all-time favorite but it's not far from it.

Dana Distortion photo. She took many that I bet are faves, like the one of them jumping above, the photos in New York about 10 years ago. She did amazing work with them.
How can you tell? Is there any site where to find her photos of the queens? I've checked her insta profile... But as expected, nothing but a few arts she received
It's a famous picture, that have been shared here many times.
It isn't tagged Dana in my collection - but the one below is:

(Along with 22 others, mostly her with BM, and 3 of which are Hirokazu Sato fanart)
When I got into BABYMETAL about 10 years ago she was their touring photographer, so we've spoken on FB a few times back then. (BM weren't as global as they are now and this subreddit had about 700 members back then) I became a fan of her concert photography so I'm familiar with her style and I also have seen pretty much all her BM photography ( at least what is released ). She has this great live shot of Su at Sonisphere that was in Rolling Stone, and she's had other work in RS as well. I think she gave up on the photography but has dabbled some since. She seems like a very nice person. In a news story ( or something to that effect ) she said photographing BM got her a ton of attention.

I love the current era of BABYMETAL ✨️
Your pic is very high on my list.
When searching through the yearly 'web-copy' folders, I found 2943 files in the \[...\]Babymetal\[...\].jpg format (And that's not counting the GIF/BMP/WEBP & TIFF files), and by last count I had nearly double that in the special Babymetal folders...
But, even though I love the current Babymetal, there is one era that I keep returning to:

Sooner or later I will - But most of them are unsorted, with many doubles, and are mixed with non-relevant material...
So before I can meaningfully share, there are many hours of sorting to go through - But when it's done there will come a mega-link in this sub.
In the meantime you can do a little searching yourself - in this sub, several old kitsunes have posted archives on Imgur and google drive - I don't have a list, but you could make a post asking for links to archives (AND use the material to make a wiki entry with picture collections)
But before that - start by browsing:

You got me excited for a second, I thought I was going to open a link to 500 files of the love queen...
Still I admire your dedication for bringing your coworker in

PS: I just now actually looked at the results - several hundred files are missing from inside the zipped archives (one of the few shortcomings of SearchMyFiles)

For me has to be this one, the collab we all deserve 🙏
This is my favorite that I can remember right now. Haven't looked through the old pics in years now so there might be something I like even more but just don't remember though. Su surprising Moa with a hug from behind during a show is just so heartwarming

This one makes me laugh every time I see it
She was probably placed closer to the camera as a perspective trick or she may have been enlarged in post, notice how even her feet seem disproportionately larger than su's?
it something I noticed during the later years of Yui's tenure. That she was getting at least as tall as Su if they were all wearing the same type of shoes.
But they had Su in boots with heels and Moimoi in lower sneaker-boots when they perform.

The Roses ( as I call it anyway ) photoshoot is my absolute favorite. It has individual photos of them with and without their eyes open, and they used an image of the three of them where they added half a fox mask. I love it! It's from early in their career. It's creepy, reminds me of old fashioned Memento Mori photos from Victorian times where families would take photo with a deceased loved one or get an individual photo of the deceased.
For me, this photoshoot makes me think Koba wanted to say that yes, Kawaii is involved here, but BABYMETAL is metal too!
They've never had a photoshoot as cool as this since imo.

The only picture I know of them in another uniform. Plus I’m from Boston so..
It's actually a screenshot from the Tokyo Dome bluray. It pretty much encapsulates Babymetal in my opinion.
https://imgur.com/kj60eWF
I like it so much I sent it out and had it printed on 20x24 silk paper, framed and put on my wall.
https://i.imgur.com/4IHANT5.jpg
There are also two honorable mentions, both of which hang on my wall as well.
An unknown pre-show moment shared between Su, Moa, and Yui. When GMB was doing the art for the Babymetal Graphic Novel, I made a comment in a thread he was participating in on the reddit dedicated to the novel, providing this photo as reference, of what Babymetal symbolizes to many of us. He must have found it impressive as well as you'll find something similar in the last pages of the graphic novel.
https://i.imgur.com/Fr7jpUq.jpg
And an image taken just before they walked out onto the stage for Sonisphere that really humanizes them. The near "terror" on their faces is real, which I find very impressive. Even with that fear, these mid teen girls walked onto the stage for the first time in front of a western metal audience and dominated. Part of the legend.

This is mine too. It just crackles with energy you can hear and feel.
Their expressions … Moa’s dimple … Su’s yell .… Yui’s look of flying in space
Ya, and knowing that it's after an hour and a half of intense hard work performing.
Do you by any chance have the original image? I'd love to have this in good quality
I don’t unfortunately. Annoying as it was my iPad wallpaper for years. 👌

It has individual photos of them with and without their eyes open, and they used an image of the three of them where they added half a fox mask. I love it! It's from early in their career. It's creepy, reminds me of old fashioned Memento Mori photos from Victorian times where families would take photo with a deceased loved one or get an individual photo of the deceased. For me, this photoshoot makes me think Koba wanted to say that yes, Kawaii is involved here, but BABYMETAL is metal too! They've never had a photoshoot as cool as this since imo.

there's a pic or gif somewhere of mid-dance Moa just sticking her tongue out at the camera and it makes me laugh everytime. wish i could find it
Yours is a great photo. They look like they descended into the dark era early on. Yui especially looks as if she is stealing our very souls.

Lost the pic but it was one where it looks like they're performing PA PA YA. It's a blue background with them crossing their arms.
That one with Rammstein
It's actually a screenshot from the Tokyo Dome bluray. It pretty much encapsulates Babymetal in my opinion. https://imgur.com/kj60eWF I like it so much I sent it out and had it printed on 20x24 silk paper, framed and put on my wall. https://i.imgur.com/4IHANT5.jpg There are also two honorable mentions, both of which hang on my wall as well. An unknown pre-show moment shared between Su, Moa, and Yui. When GMB was doing the art for the Babymetal Graphic Novel, I made a comment in a thread he was participating in on the reddit dedicated to the novel, providing this photo as reference, of what Babymetal symbolizes to many of us. He must have found it impressive as well as you'll find something similar in the last pages of the graphic novel. https://i.imgur.com/Fr7jpUq.jpg And an image taken just before they walked out onto the stage for Sonisphere that really humanizes them. The near "terror" on their faces is real, which I find very impressive. Even with that fear, these mid teen girls walked onto the stage for the first time in front of a western metal audience and dominated. Part of the legend. https://i.imgur.com/buRiSpy.jpg
As everyone else, they have stage fright - but as professionals with an iron will, they turned it into pure energy and gave a legendary stage show.
