PORTRAITS FOR MUSICIANS WHO LOVE THE BEAT

SONG

BORN TO PLAY, SO TURN IT UP!

You know exactly who they are. The one who finds a song and plays it on repeat until every single person in the house knows every word whether they wanted to or not. The one who started out bashing a toy drum kit at three years old and never really stopped. The one who taught themselves guitar from YouTube videos at midnight, or who sits at the piano working out a melody by ear because reading the sheet music was never really the point. The one who performs to their bedroom mirror with the kind of confidence that most adults would kill for.

Music is their first language, the thing they reach for when words aren’t enough, when the day has been too much, when they just need to feel something. It lives in them constantly, quietly or loudly depending on the day. Some kids find their thing early and never let it go. Your musician is one of those kids. Whether they play in a band, perform solo, produce their own tracks, or are still figuring out exactly what kind of musician they want to be, what they deserve is a portrait that does justice to the depth of that passion. Something that goes far beyond a photo of a kid holding an instrument. Something that captures the real story of who they are.

PROMO SHOTS FOR SINGERS & MUSICIANS

And it’s not just the young ones. Whether you’re a working musician or singer looking for fresh promotional shots, a band in need of new press images, a session player building your portfolio, or a solo artist whose current photos simply don’t reflect where you are in your career right now – we’ve got you. A great musician deserves imagery that’s as carefully crafted as the music itself. Something that tells people exactly who you are before you’ve played a single note. We work with adult musicians at every level and every genre – from classical soloists to gigging bands, singer songwriters to DJs – creating portraits that are as individual as your sound. No corporate headshots, no tired backdrops, no playing it safe. Just honest, striking, beautifully made images that represent you and your music exactly as it should be represented.

THE PROCESS

BOOK A CALL

First things first, hop on a quick call with our team and we’ll talk through all the possibilities. We like to keep things relaxed, clear, and enjoyable, so you can feel excited and prepared from the start. We’ll walk you through what happens next, what to expect, and yes, even what to wear.

GRAB A DATE

We know how tricky it is with with musicians and their busy performance schedules, which is why we have lots of dates and times to suit you and your family. Grab something that works for all of you and that means we have even more fun when we get together in the studio.

LET’S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD

When you arrive at our studio, we’ll help everyone settle in and feel at ease from the very beginning. We’ll guide your musician every step of the way and before you know it, they’ll be showing off their skills in front of the camera! Our sessions last about an hour, during which we’ll have them posing and having fun. We’ll bring out their real love for their art, so the images reflect exactly who they are at this point in their life.

“RICHARD IS AN ARTIST”
“Richard Hill is an artist. More importantly, he is a great person who is able to put his clients at ease. Please do yourself a favor and look at his work. His photos will inspire you and move you. Some of his photos bring me to tears. Many of them make me smile. My daughter is a musician and she used the photos for promotional work. We also had some printed for our home. We are from Saint Louis and we made a special trip to Dallas for the photo shoot! Richard was able to capture my daughter’s amazing personality. I highly recommend Richard Hill Studio.”

QUESTIONS

Wear your performance best. Whether it’s a tuxedo or a rock band t-shirt, we want to capture you in in your element. Your instrument is a part of your attire as well, so bring that too. (As long as you can carry it in to the studio!) We also have a changing room, so if you want portraits in your everyday look, we can do that too. Families, be sure to take this opportunity to jump in at the end of your musician’s session for an updated family portrait.

Yes! We love for you to bring your mom, your uncle, your cousins. Let us know who is coming when you’re scheduling your session with our studio coordinator so we can be prepared. We’ll work with you to find an appointment that will allow your group the time they need in front of the camera.

Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour depending on the number of people or pets in your session. Portrait sessions are by appointment only, Thursday through Sunday each week.

We will schedule a Zoom Reveal and Ordering Session at a convenient time within the week following your portrait session so you can view your photos and make your portrait selections in the comfort of your own home. A member of our portrait team will guide you through the selection process, putting together a custom package that best suits your home, aesthetic and budget.

Richard Hill Studio is North Texas’ Premiere Black and White Studio. We are known for our classic and timeless B&W style. However, for our clients who prefer color, just let us know during your Zoom Reveal & Ordering Session and we’ll provide you with those color add-on options.

Of course! We adore our furry friends here at the studio. Please let us know in advance if you would like to include a pet in your session.
