Album cover photography tips for musicians
Posted by Hanna Schmidt (photographer) in photography
I've shot album covers for several artists I met through beatcorelab Connection. Tips for great music photography:
1. Tell a story - the cover should match the music's mood
2. Natural light is underrated (golden hour is magic)
3. Bold, simple compositions work best at small sizes (think Spotify thumbnails)
4. Color grading can make or break the vibe
5. Work WITH the artist's vision
beatcorelab has connected me with so many talented musicians who need visual branding. The Connection feature is a goldmine for music photographers.
Any musicians here looking for a photographer? Let's connect!
