BAND & MUSICIAN BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY IN HONOLULU

85 DECIBELS

I had such a great time photographing 85 Decibels, a talented young alternative rock band from Honolulu, Hawaiʻi.

For this band photography and musician branding session, we created a mix of studio portraits and on-location images, giving the group a versatile collection of photographs they could use for performances, publicity, social media, websites, and other promotional materials.

Musicians and bands need more than a single group portrait. Strong music branding photography can communicate personality, style, energy, and the unique identity of the artists behind the music.

For 85 Decibels, we wanted the photographs to feel youthful, confident, creative, and connected to their alternative rock sound. Shooting both in the studio and on location gave us the opportunity to create a range of looks while still maintaining a cohesive visual identity.

Take a look at some of my favorite images from this Honolulu band photography session.

ABOUT 85 DECIBELS

At the time of this photo session, 85 Decibels was a teen rock-and-roll band from Honolulu made up of four friends and classmates: Kalliyan, Daniel, Jake, and Tevita.

The musicians brought together influences from alternative rock, classic rock, and metal while also developing their own original material.

Their name came from the measurement of sound intensity: decibels, or dB. They chose 85 Decibels as a playful reference to the level at which prolonged exposure to sound begins approaching the boundary between safe listening and potentially damaging noise.

A fitting name for a rock band!

BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY FOR MUSICIANS & ARTISTS

Whether you’re a solo musician, band, performer, actor, or other creative professional, your photographs are an important part of how people first experience your work.

A thoughtfully planned branding session can give you a collection of images for album or single promotion, websites, social media, press, performances, publicity, and future creative projects.

And just like the music itself, the photographs should feel distinctly yours.
