DESIGN & PHOTO FOR ARTISTS
I work with musicians and bands to create album artwork, press photography, and visual systems that fit the music. This is not rushed cover art or one size fits all design. It is intentional creative built around your sound, your story, and how you want to show up.
Whether you just need a strong album cover image or a full visual world for a release, I will help you create something honest, timeless, and built to hold up beyond a single drop.
MY Process
DISCOVERY
We start with a conversation. I want to understand your music, influences, goals for the release, and where this project fits in your bigger picture.
CREATIVE
DIRECTION
I develop a visual direction that matches the tone of your music. This includes concept, mood, references, and approach so we are aligned before anything is shot or designed.
CREATION
Photography, design, and refinement happen here. Every decision is made with the music in mind and with long term use considered.
DELIVERY
You receive clean, organized final files ready for streaming platforms, promotion, and future use. Everything is delivered clearly and ready to go.
PACKAGE OPTIONS
These packages are built to cover different levels of creative support, from a single album cover photoshoot to full visual direction and artwork. Each option is flexible and can be adjusted based on your needs.
-
For artists who need a strong, intentional album cover image.
A focused photoshoot designed specifically for album artwork. We plan the concept, location, and overall feel so the final image works at full size and as a thumbnail across platforms.
Includes
Creative direction and planning
Album cover focused photoshoot
Select, edited final images
Usage for album artwork and promotion
Investment Range: $500–$750

This is the most common option. I handle both the shoot and the album cover design so everything works together visually.

This goes beyond a single cover. I build a complete visual system around your release so everything feels intentional and connected.

Creative direction and visual concept
Photoshoot or shoots for album and promotion
Physical album design
Additional assets for singles, social, and press

Every band is different. If you need something specific like vinyl design and layouts, merch graphics, tour visuals, or a mix of photography and design, I will build a package around what actually makes sense for you.
Investment: Custom quoted based on needs and timeline.
Rates reflect project scope, release scale, and usage. Smaller projects are scoped intentionally to stay affordable, while larger releases are priced to support deeper creative involvement. I am always happy to work within a realistic budget and find the right level of support for your release.
NOT SURE WHAT YOU NEED?
That is normal. Most artists come in knowing they are releasing music but are unsure what visuals they actually need to support it.
If you are early in the process, we can start with a conversation. I will ask a few simple questions about your music, timeline, and release goals, then help you figure out what makes the most sense. Sometimes that is just a cover image. Sometimes it turns into a full visual system. Either way, the goal is clarity before committing to anything.
You do not need a finished plan or perfect language. I can help you define the scope, prioritize what matters for this release, and avoid spending time or money on things you do not need.
If you are unsure where to start, reach out. We will map it out together and build from there.
