Glass Halo Loves Me and You Should Too | Indianapolis Music Photographer

I just wanted to share a message I got from Glass Halo, I did the photos for their current promotional materials and they’ve been featured here on the blog.

“We had an older couple and a few of their friends come out to our Verve show in Terre Haute, IN based solely on the fact that our poster made us “look like we’d be pretty good!” They even bought two shirts and a CD! Thanks, Melissa!”

You sirs, are welcome. That’s exactly what I strive for with each and every shoot. Your promotional materials should make people think “they look like they probably sound good” or “they look legit” or any other thought along those lines. Your promotional materials including your flyers, cd covers, and even your profile photo are all the first impression people are going to get of you. And while they say, “you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover” most people do and they’re going to move on to the one that has the better cover.

Every band, new and just starting out, sophomore and struggling, or been in the game for a while and making a good profit, can all afford promotional photos. Yes, there’s quite a difference between the basic promotional photo and the top photo but, that basic promotional photo is still going to look a lot better than if you just use a snapshot for your stuff. Here’s the promotional photo Glass Halo is currently using.

They had one of the higher packages. We drove all the way to Bloomington, I brought all my lighting equipment, shot all day, did multiple group photos, individual shots of each member, and they received all the final images, high resolution, on a cd. They can use all the images online, in print, and even as a cd cover if they want.

New Addiction is the most recent shoot I did. They have a lower to middle package. We shot in Indianapolis, I brought one of my lights, we did a couple group shots, an individual shot of each member, the whole thing took a couple of hours. They’re getting the full resolution copy of one group photos, and one of each member. They can use them online and in print. I don’t know which group shot they’ll choose yet but, here’s the once I recently posted.

Both look grand, both got what they needed their photos for, both work for the budget they have. So, when you’re ready for new photos. Keep that in mind!
