Musician Photography
Whether you’re a classical pianist, an indie singer-songwriter, a jazz saxophonist, or fronting a rock band, professional musician photography helps you connect with your audience before they hear you play.
I work with musicians of all genres to create authentic portraits that reflect who you are and what your music sounds like. These are images you can use on your website, Spotify, iTunes, album covers, press kits, social media, and concert programmes.
A Collaborative Approach to Your Music Photography
Every shoot is tailored to you and your music. We’ll start with a conversation about your style, your audience, and how you want to be seen. Some musicians come to me with a clear vision; others need help figuring it out. Either way, I’ll guide you through the process.
Your musician photo session can take place in my professional London studio or at a location that reflects your music – urban, classical, gritty, elegant – whatever fits your genre and personality. I can suggest locations if you’re not sure where to start.
What You’ll Get From Your Musician Photography Session
Authenticity: Photos that feel like you – whether you’re on stage or off, solo or in a band.
Versatility: A range of looks and styles, so you’re covered for album artwork, press features, gig posters, social media, and more.
Confidence: You’ll feel comfortable and supported throughout the shoot, even if you’re not used to being in front of the camera.
Professional quality: Fully edited, high-resolution images, ready for print and web use.
This isn’t a cookie-cutter photoshoot. I design every session to help musicians stand out. From wardrobe and lighting to backdrop and location, every detail is considered to bring your musical identity to life in a visual way.
You’ll be able to review the images as we go, tweak the look, and experiment with different styles to make sure you leave with photos that work for you.
Preparing for Your Musician Photography Session
To ensure your shoot is a success, consider these factors:
Bring your personality: Think about how you want to connect with your audience. You may want to be considered, edgy or energetic. We can channel your personality into the shoot so your photos capture who you truly are.
Wardrobe choices: Pack two or three outfits to create a range of styles, giving you photos that suit different situations.
Preparation: Rest well the night before and take time to relax so you feel comfortable and confident during the session.
Think about your audience: Consider where these photos will be used and what message you want to send, whether it’s “classic”, sophisticated, modern, traditional, edgy, or approachable.
Locations: We can use my studio for the shoot which will give you a clean and professional look. But sometimes it’s beneficial to use a location that matches your style. This can be outside or at a venue of your choosing. I’m happy to help with suggestions.
After the Session
Once your musician photography session is complete, you’ll receive an online gallery of images to review. Once you have selected your favourites they will be edited and sent to you ready for use.
The final images will be delivered in high-quality formats, ready for:
- Website use
- Print materials
- Social media platforms
- Streaming platforms like Spotify and iTunes
