Musician & Band Photography in the Catskills Studio Shoots · On-Location · Live Performance
Your music deserves visuals that work as hard as you do.
Whether you're recording your first album, building a press kit for a festival run, or documenting a live show for your label, professional photography is how the music world takes you seriously. At Franny's Photography Studio in Callicoon, NY, I create images for working musicians and bands — built for the real-world demands of editorial features, streaming profiles, album art, and commercial promotion.
Based in the Catskills and serving Sullivan County, the Hudson Valley, and Northeastern Pennsylvania, I bring a documentary eye and a commercial understanding to every session — in the studio, out in the landscape, or in front of a live crowd.
Studio Sessions — Callicoon, NY
The studio gives you full control. Custom lighting, no weather, no distractions — just you and the work. Studio sessions are ideal for album covers, press headshots, EPK portraits, and branded imagery that needs to be clean, consistent, and versatile across platforms.
Solo artists and full bands welcome. Single-artist sessions and multi-member band sessions are both available, and I'll work with you before the shoot to plan wardrobe, concept, and mood so we're not figuring it out the day-of.
Best for: Album art, EPK portraits, streaming profile images, press headshots, label submissions.
On-Location Shoots — The Catskills & Beyond
The Catskills are a backdrop that most photographers would kill for — and most musicians never think to use. Stone walls, river banks, dense forest, abandoned barns, open farmland, and the architectural character of towns like Callicoon, Narrowsburg, and Milford give your images a visual identity that stock-location studios can't replicate.
On-location sessions are available throughout Sullivan County, the Delaware River Valley, the Hudson Valley, and Northeastern Pennsylvania. I travel up to 90 minutes from Callicoon for on-location work.
Best for: Album art, editorial features, social media content, tour promotional materials, brand identity shoots.
Images Licensed for the Way Musicians Actually Work
Every session includes a commercial use license covering digital and print applications — album art, press kits, streaming profiles, social media, band websites, and editorial submissions. If you need extended licensing for advertising campaigns, sync licensing submissions, or third-party commercial use, we'll discuss that as part of your booking.
I understand that musicians use their images across a lot of channels, and I won't put you in a position where you're asking permission every time you need to submit a photo to a magazine or update your Spotify artist profile. Your images are ready to work.
Live Performance & Concert Photography
Live performance photography is a different discipline — it requires fast instincts, low-light technical fluency, and the ability to anticipate the moment before it happens. I document concerts, venue performances, and live events for bands and venues throughout the region.
Deliverables are licensed for promotional, editorial, and commercial use — ready for press releases, venue booking submissions, social media, and music publication features. If your show is a part of your brand story, I'll help you tell it.
Best for: Concert documentation, venue promotion, tour press, editorial pitching, social media content, band promotional materials.
RATES & BOOKING
Session rates vary based on session type, duration, location, and licensing scope. I offer single-session bookings and multi-session packages for artists building out a full visual library.
