I'm a photographer in Nashville with 20 years exp shooting studio, location, events. Posed and on the fly portraits of well-known artists here.

I've never aimed myself at the music industry , just picked up jobs based on my connections, now gone. I'm asking today if there is a music biz photo niche left in Nashville, and what range of fees are current for lit and posed images for cover art and marketing for an experienced shooter.

Thank you for any help!

Hi folks -- I live and work in Nashville and have shot video and stills here for 30 years. Many shoots with artists here for corp (not label) use, and MV's long ago.

I am considering approaching labels and artists to shoot studio images. Covre art, promos, etc. Not live concerts so much.

I'd appreciate any help with info on rates, contracts, copyright grabbing, who chooses and who pays the photographer, and anything else you think would be helpful.

Thank you!
