High Quality Looks Equal Authority: What do I mean by authority? Let me be as blunt and concise as I possibly can- Shitty artwork attached to your music makes you look like an amature. I won’t call out any artists… maybe one who recently put out some work titled after two different birds who absolutely has the money to produce something better than what was offered… However, I do want to draw attention to how high quality, honest, and inspired photography can boost the reached, power, and first impressions of your work. The illustrius Miss Margo Price. Her new campaign with Alysse Gafkjen for her album Strays proves just about every point I make in this blog. It’s professional, confident, and relevant to her artistry. The body of work aligned with her album is a convergence of portraiture and branding. She stays true to the elegance for her work with flowing dresses and elaborate pinks, while also reflecting on her genre through Western/Country styled outfits. Still, though, the true reflection of her work is in the strong portraiture- she’s got something to say and makes it know that you need to hear it. You want to hear it, you want to know why she’s expressing herself they way she is in this photos, you want to listen to her.
Additionally, high quality images reflect confidence, and this has two affects on listens when they approach your work. The first being that the quality of the music from the lyrics to the production will be high, reliable, and be worth investing in as a consumer. Second, it shows that you yourself have invest in your work which is important to more than just the audience, but to labels as well. A musician who invests in their work, is honest in their representation, and not only has something to say but can say it with authority is worth investing in.
Who I’m For: I will be the first person to tell you if I don’t think we’ll be a good fit. I want what’s best for you- usually it’s me, sometimes it’s not. If I cannot provide to you exactly what you need, want you want, and what will best serve your career.
One of the best ways to get to know me as a person- because I’m a human first, not just a service- other than reading my About page on the website is to find me on Instagram at @kbfromtennessee. I post about my family, my farm life, my travels, and a lot about the kind of musicians I work with.
I travel all over the US to work with musicians in locations that serve them best- not just folks from TN.
I don’t have restraints on genre or theming for who I work with- I’ve worked with rock, pop, jazz, blues, and folk musicians.
My work best translates with musicians who are series about their work, willing to trust me, and will show up willing to be honest- even if they’re not completely sure how.
You Know You Want Me: I could go on and on about my photographic accomplishments- but the best recommendation I can give myself is this- I know music, I know photography, and I’m ready to give you honest, athorative, professional images to elevate your branding and further your career.
