Promo Photography for Independent Musicians

If you’re an unsigned musician, solo artist, or band and you need promo photos, I’ve put this package just for you. I know how important great visuals are when it comes to sharing your music, building your identity, and connecting with fans — but I also know it can be tough to find something affordable that still looks professional.

This package is designed to take that pressure off. You’ll get a relaxed, creative photoshoot where we can capture images that really reflect your style, personality, and sound. Whether you want something raw and natural, bold and edgy, or polished and clean, we’ll work together to bring out the look that feels right for you.

What’s Included in the Package:

  • A friendly, collaborative 2 hour photography session in my studio or on location that’s tailored to your style
  • Guidance with posing and direction if you want it — or space to just be yourself
  • A set of high-quality, edited images you can use for press kits, social media, gig posters, or streaming profiles

The photography session is approximately 2 hours which includes any prep & lighting.

The amount of actual shoot time depends on your ideas & how quickly this can be set up.

I am also happy to shoot on location if that’s the idea.

Package Price

Music Promotional Package price  £280 including VAT

Includes 4 selected images.

Additional images can be purchased at £15/ image

Simple photoshop processing, grading & editing of your chosen images is included in the price.

The images can be supplied in colour, black & white or a mixture & I don’t charge for colour variations or black & white versions of the same image.

Share Your Ideas and Concepts Ahead of Time

If you have a specific idea or concept in mind, let me know before the session! This gives me time to plan the lighting, choose the right background or location, and suggest any adjustments to make your vision come to life. A mood board is super helpful, too, if you have a general style or vibe you’d like to achieve.

Selecting and Receiving Your Images

 

While I can provide a quick edit of “selected” images on the day, I recommend taking your time to pick your favorites. After the shoot, you’ll get access to a secure, password-protected online gallery where you can preview the images at your own pace. Once you’ve made your selections, the final edited high-resolution images will be delivered to you via file transfer.

Clothing/Style and What to Bring

Think about the clothes & style you want to portray & bring a small variety of outfits.

Make sure you feel comfortable with your choices or perhaps it’s what you normally wear when performing?

Make sure you bring any props you might need.

There is a clothes rail, steamer & iron in the studio.

Hair & makeup artist can be arranged but this will be at an additional cost

Over 20 Years of Music Photography Experience

Band photography in smokey studio

I’ve been photographing musicians & bands for over 30 years, all over the world for record labels, promotional use by independent artists & for editorial features both in the studio & on location.

I’ve been fortunate to photograph all kinds of musical genres from Drum & Bass, Jazz and Rock through to Techno & Hip Hop, from major artists at the peak of their career to musicians who have just starting out on their musical journey. Please check out my portfolio to see just a small selection of my work.

"Colin is a phenomenal photographer….he could not have made me feel more comfortable. Throughout the shoot, he remained conscious of my artistic visions and captured them perfectly, whilst gently directing me throughout the process.“
