Photographer for Record Labels

For record labels

Billie shoots portraits and artwork for each campaign, and can shoot stills on music video days so the photos and the video share a look.

On the shoot

Delivery specs

Streaming and video platforms each have their own upload specs, so masters, thumbnails and vertical cuts are delivered in the formats the distributor asks for.

Clearances

Everything on screen needs clearing before release: locations, featured people, artwork, brands in shot and any sampled audio in the master.

The service

Billie shoots stills the same way it shoots film: with a clear idea, careful light and an eye for the frame. Artist portraits, campaign imagery, posters and behind-the-scenes stills can be shot on their own or alongside a video project.

What’s included

Artist and studio portraits
Campaign and product stills
Posters and key art
Behind-the-scenes coverage
Retouched, web-ready files

Which retainer suits

A label releasing across a roster suits a retainer more than most: Creative at $3,000 NZD a month gives two production sessions, six edited pieces, eight to ten short-form edits and creative direction, and Studio Partner, priced on enquiry, adds weekly sessions and priority scheduling. Priority music videos with bigger treatments are usually quoted separately as Bespoke Production.

Questions

Is this a paid service?

Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production.

Can a retainer be shared across several artists?

Talk to Billie about it. A retainer is a set amount of production each month, and the monthly planning is where a label decides which artists and releases it goes to.

What is included?

Artist and studio portraits, campaign and product stills, posters and key art, behind-the-scenes coverage, retouched, web-ready files. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
