A music photographer is a person who takes photographs of musicians and bands in the music industry. They are typically hired by record labels, management companies, and artists just like the ones here in Nashville, TN.

The main responsibility of the music photographer is to capture a musician’s or band’s performance or image. They take pictures during live performances, in the studio, backstage and at promotional events.

Music photographers are typically paid by the photo shoot or by per-picture usage rights.
