Music & Band Photography by Colin Hawkins

My music photography has been featured in magazines, websites and on album covers across a wide range of genres. I’ve had the privilege of working with musicians and artists at various stages of their careers. Over the years, I’ve photographed some of the most iconic names in the industry, including Notorious B.I.G., The Stranglers, Goldie, UB40, Ninja Tunes, Aphex Twin, and many many others.

Passionate About Music

Music is my greatest passion, and for over 30 years it has taken me on an incredible journey around the world for pleasure & also for commissions. I’m a huge fan of bass-heavy music, funky beats, and soulful voices, which deeply influences my work as a photographer.

Studio & On-Location Music Portraits and Promo Shots

Whether in my studio in Bath, backstage, or on location, I create original and distinctive music portraits, creative artwork imagery, and promotional photos that resonate with an artist's identity.

Photography for Unsigned Musicians, Artists & Bands

Are you an unsigned musician, solo artist, or band looking to take your image to the next level? I’ve put together a dedicated photography package designed specifically for independent artists who need striking visuals without breaking the bank. With this package, you’ll get a friendly, collaborative photoshoot that’s tailored to your identity and a selection of  high-resolution images at an affordable rate ready for use across social media, press, posters, and streaming platforms.
