Los Angeles based celebrity photographer now offers his professional services at more affordable rates to emerging musicians. As part of his HighlyEffectiveHeadshots business, Mark brings the same work ethic and talent to you as a musician with more limited exposure that he brings to his more established music and celebrity clients (keeping the cost significantly lower than rates that generally apply to a record company).

Note: The music photography on this page have been selected because we believe they are appropriate for the music industry and generally represent the range of imagery you might expect from a HighlyEffectiveHeadshtos music shoot. In some cases, they are celebrity images created for other purposes (such as the Michelle Williams and James Marster's shoots, which were for magazine articles). A few of the images also made use of more extensive resources, such as a wardrobe stylist or location, that are also available to musicians.

Package information for musician's photography like the images on this page can be found below.

Packages for CD and Music Photography

The packages below are appropriate to your pre-label promotion and producing your demo package. Like music, photography is licensed and the cost of the license is dependent on the visibility and use of the images. These packages arefor using these images on your website, for flyers and postcards, and for the first 1500 cds printed and/or distributed for one project/album. In other words, they are designed to help get you signed and handle your direct distribution (without having to pay rates appropriate to a signed artist with major distribution). Broader uses are quoted on an individual basis. Our basic packages generally for images created in the photographer's Los Angeles studio (easily accessable from Orange County, and throughout California).

Mark's services, like most established photographers, aren't inexpensive (although they are only a fraction of his commercial rates). Mark generally only shootsone or two sessions per day.

If you don't see what you are looking for here, please call us to discuss how we can accommodate your needs.

Please call us at 888-273-2838 to discuss your needs and for pricing information.

Other information about the way we will work together can be found on the information page of this site. The shooting and editing process is essentially the same as it is for actors (although the costs are different, to reflect the complexity and use of the images, as well as the time that is generally involved).

If these options don't fit your needs, we can do just about anything you like. Costs can also be adjusted to increase the number or units (CDs) and/or usage by your record company. Please call to discuss the cost.
