Photography tailored to your genre
Music portraits are not only about a face, an instrument or a cool location. They need to translate rhythm, attitude, intimacy, performance energy or atmosphere into a visual language that works across press, streaming platforms and social media.
For solo artists, the session can focus on intimacy, identity and direct audience connection. For bands, the priority is chemistry and group energy. For DJs and producers, we can build a darker, atmospheric or minimal visual direction that fits flyers, magazine features and online profiles.
We focus on expression, character and a portrait that can work for an EP cover, concert programme, Spotify profile, website or press release.
Band portraits need hierarchy, chemistry and rhythm. The visual direction can be raw, cinematic, minimal or polished depending on the release context.
For producers and DJs, the image often needs to work across event flyers, Resident Advisor-style profiles, magazine features and social campaigns.

Yes, if they are part of your identity. Instruments, amps, headphones, controllers or handwritten material can add authenticity. We can also create portraits without props when a cleaner press image is stronger.
For a 90-minute session, up to two looks usually work well. For a 120-minute session, up to four looks can be planned. Bring clothes that fit your genre and visual direction rather than random options.
A press photo usually introduces you clearly to media, bookers and fans. An album-cover shoot is often more conceptual and tied to a specific release. A longer or custom session can be planned when both uses are needed.
It is polished, non-destructive retouching that keeps the artist looking real. Skin texture, expression and character remain visible, while temporary distractions such as blemishes, flyaway hairs or clothing wrinkles can be cleaned up.
