DSP MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHY
"If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur."
Red Adair
What are your music photography needs?
Whether you are a solo singer-songwriter or an 11-piece jazz-funk band, a concert venue or festival producer, an artist manager or a publicist, a print magazine or an on-line blog, DSP has you covered for all of your professional photography needs.
Performance
When you want to preserve a moment in a single still image, no stage is too small or too big for DSP. With many years of experience, DSP offers a quality level and attention to detail that your project deserves.
Promotion / Publicity
Are you looking for an evocative lead image for your EPK, a compelling photo for album art or for merch collectibles? DSP would love to collaborate with you.
Behind The Scenes
Your fans experience your on-stage story, but do they know your backstage or recording studio story? Why not tell them about it? Better yet, why not show them?
Festival / Venue Crowd
Fact: People love to see photos of people - especially themselves. Fans love crowd shots. This intrigue and energy should not go un-utilized by artists, event promoters, or publications.

The music business isn't all about music.
Sometimes, it takes more than catchy melodies and heart-wrenching lyrics to get noticed.
In today's social media world, you're more likely to get the attention of your fans and followers with compelling visuals than your are with a screaming guitar solo.
Your choice of imagery in your marketing should complement your music or written words, and should not be an afterthought or, worse, a reflection of a lack of attention to detail, quality, and professionalism.
Isn't it worth making photography a priority, and investing in top-quality images that will bring in new fans, ticket-buyers, or readers?
