Promotional Photography

Album covers: This is arguably the most important type of band photography. The album cover is often the first impression fans have of the band and their music. (see some mockup album covers below using gig photography and promotional shoots)

Nowadays the "album cover" is used by platforms such as Spotify and highly visable every time the song is streamed.

Band portraits: These are used for various promotional materials, such as social media, websites, and merchandise.

Another use for these images is the "About the artist" section on Spotify.

Concert Photography

Capturing the band performing live can be a great way to showcase their energy and stage presence.

Photo pit: This is a designated area at the front of the stage where photographers can shoot the band from a close distance. Get my name on the door for a photography pass and I will be there grabbing images from "the pit" (between the stage and the crowd barrier)

Crowd shots: Photos of the crowd can help capture the atmosphere and energy of a concert.

Backstage shots: Behind-the-scenes photos can provide a glimpse into the band's life on the road.

Other Options

Social media photography: Creating visually appealing content for social media can help the band connect with fans and grow their following.

Merchandise photography: High-quality photos of merchandise can help promote sales and create a sense of brand identity.

Documentary photography: Documenting the band's journey can be a powerful way to tell their story.

The studio is located at 11 Davenport Street in Chinatown Southport.
