Whether you’re a rap-rock duo, a bluegrass trio, or a barbershop quartet, Peerspace has the perfect locations for you to get that photoshoot that’ll separate your band from the rest! As the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals, we make it easy to rent a killer venue that is both stylish and budget-friendly. Today we’ve compiled 11 creative band photoshoot ideas that are sure to get your foot tapping and maybe even inspire the look you’ve been searching for.

1. Monochromatic photoshoot

Does your band have a signature color, one that fully evokes your hit single? Why not set the tone for your band by taking a photoshoot that shows it off to the fullest loudest. If your band is “pretty-in-pink” take some inspiration from this hot pink photo studio in Atlanta! Bring your hottest pink outfits and throw on some boas to show how loud you could be in such a dynamic setting.

2. Industrial photoshoot

Maybe your sound is a little grittier and pink isn’t the right color for you, your band is a little tougher than that! But maybe not tough enough for trespassing in abandoned buildings. This studio space in Temple Terrace, Florida has you covered: ”Our walls are beautifully painted with an industrial outside mural that has an underground New York style theme…!”

3. Concert photoshoot

Another great way to promote your band is to show what you all look like in action! Instead of trying to get a gig booked and struggling to get some quality pictures, check out this all-in-one loft creative space in St. Louis! Invite some of your friends to pose for the audience and maybe even give them a little private show so they can spread the word. Not only that but now you’ve got proof that your band can rock on stage and not just in the garage!

3. Garage photoshoot

There’s nothing wrong with having a photoshoot of your band in a garage if that’s the style you’re looking for. However, maybe it’s time to upgrade from your parents’ garage and demonstrate that your band is bigger than that. Take some inspiration from this massive industrial garage in Detroit that has the space for you to stretch your legs and let your sound echo. Make an impact with such a dynamic space that could spark your own creative band photoshoot idea!

4. Pool photoshoot

If your band is looking to show how fun you all are then why not make a splash with a pool party photoshoot? Get some friends together and get some in-motion shots of you all jumping into the pool or splashing around to get the smiles going and your fans excited to get their bodies moving at your show! Peerspace can get you into some of the coolest locations to make you stand out such as this unique pool located in Colleyville, Texas!

5. Renaissance photoshoot

So maybe your band has a more “classy” tone, so to speak? You don’t need to show off how much you like to party but how professional your band looks, and a Renaissance-style shoot is the perfect way to show that off. Showcase your instruments and make a phenomenal first impression in a spot like these gorgeous gardens in Austin, Texas. Perfect for a classical quartet!

6. Retro photoshoot

For some bands, the Renaissance period might be a little too far back in time because your sound is retro but not classical. Or maybe you’re just looking to mix it up with some mid-century modern looks? This retro living room set located in Phoenix is sure to drum up some ideas for your band and will give you some authentic vintage furniture to pose with and show you really know what it means to be retro!

7. Neon photoshoot

Some bands refuse to live in the past and want to make their mark on the present and future. A futuristic and neon-filled photoshoot might be exactly what you’re looking for. Take a note from this neon-themed studio in Houston that is sure to get your audience doing the robot!

8. Clock tower photoshoot

A great musician once said “time keeps on slippin’ into the future” and why not embody that with a photoshoot in a clock tower or in front of a grandfather clock? Check out this two-story clock tower in Houston, which provides a totally unique space that will spark many creative band photoshoot ideas with such a variety of interior views and spaces to work with!

9. Glamor photoshoot

They say dress for the job you want, not the job you have, so why not apply the same to your band’s photoshoot? Show you’re living the high life and you’re on the fast track to success in a glamorous photoshoot at a location like this chic spot in Nashville! Pop open the champagne and get some shots of yourself putting on your best stage makeup and demonstrate you’ve got the beauty along with the voice!

10. Half-pipe photoshoot

Maybe glamor isn’t what your band is looking for because you’re a little bit punkier and need to show off a little dirt and grunge! Skateboarding has been making people look cool for decades and your band shouldn’t be an exception to that. Trying to find the time to rent out the local skatepark might be a bit too much, so why not use Peerspace and shoot in a location like this hip Bushwick backyard?

11. Green screen photoshoot

Are physical locations not enough for your band? Maybe you’ve got creative band photoshoot ideas that are too advanced for a simple set! With a green screen, the options for your band are limitless. If you’re not just a musician but also a visual artist, it’s an amazing way to show off your art as a backdrop for your band. Peerspace has the studios you need to get the job done, like this multi-use studio in Baltimore!
