Publishing or Selling Music Photographs

Publishing or Selling music photographs

As a music photographer, you take photos or create imagery related to music. This might mean photos of bands performing in concert, studio shots of bands, musical instruments, abstract shots of crowds or venues, graphics representing musical themes, montages, etc.

With a Press account, you can publish your photographs and images in galleries on Harmony on Tap.

You can also sell images that you have license to sell for journalistic purposes, licensing to the band or band agencies, or personal use.  In general, this means that the person who purchases your photograph will use it in conjunction with an article or other journalism, is an agent of the artist who will use it for promotional purposes, or is an end-user who will use it for personal use (such as a desktop wallpaper).
