Photographer, Designer, Video Production
Knoxville, TN
Pump up the volume on all your promotions... music videos, cd packaging, site design and promotional photography. If you need a design studio that can do it all and do it well, you've found the right spot. As a bonus we work at Knoxville prices -not Nashville rates. And I promise not to shoot you on a brick wall or a railroad! Unless, of course its a very cool railroad!
Most of my clients are independent musicians who need to "earn back" production costs. We work together to help you sell more CDs and merchandise. So if you are a small band with a limited design budget your business is welcome. We are here to make you money not to waste it.

Hi, I'm Christian... I work with acts in all musical genres... rock, hip-hop, country... the gamut. When planning a shoot or CD cover I usually draw inspiration from the band's songs and lyrics. The music sets the tone.
1) An eye-catching cover that visually captures your performance style, ie, a jazz-swing cover should look like a jazz-swing cover... fans will recognize it quickly and buy it. Others will keep going. Everyone is happy!
2) A captivating photo of the artist on the traycard personalizes the release, creates rapport with a shopper and increases sales.
3) A legible spine with the title & release number (along with a bar code on the tray) will make your product store-friendly.
Photographs and videos are not unlike songs. Good ones generally say something. They convey the band's mood or message. They reflect the style of the group.
So usually one of my first requests is: "Could I hear the music?" And listening to any special ideas you might already have is also cool.
Its best to get started early when you are recording your album - then when your music is ready so is the art! Good luck!
