About

Portraits for musicians and bands who want something with more personality than a standard press photo — built for how the image will actually be used, whether that’s a Spotify single cover, an album release, band promo, or press.

Built for the Release

A single cover, a band promo shot, and a press photo all do different jobs — a tight square crop for streaming platforms reads differently than a wide band shot meant for a poster or a feature. The format the image needs to fit shapes how the session is planned, not just how it’s cropped afterward.

Solo or Full Band

Sessions work for a solo artist or a full band together, in-studio or on location if the release calls for a specific setting or mood.

  • Solo artist and full band sessions
  • Shot for the format: square single covers, wider press shots, promo crops
  • Studio or on-location, matched to the sound and story of the release
  • Direction that leaves room for the artist’s own personality, not a generic look
  • Fast turnaround for release-date deadlines

Musician Portraits — FAQs

Do you shoot solo artists and full bands?
Both — sessions are built around whether it’s one artist or a full group, and how many different shots or crops the release needs.
Can you shoot specifically for a Spotify or streaming single cover?
Yes — square-format single covers are planned for that crop from the start, rather than cropped down from a differently-shaped shot after the fact.
Studio or on location?
Either, depending on the sound and story of the release — a stripped-back studio session reads differently than a location shoot with a specific mood or setting.
Can you work around a release date?
Yes — get in touch with your timeline and I can confirm availability and turnaround.
