Social Media & Modern Performer Branding

Entertainment promotion has changed massively over the last few years. Many performers now require regular content for:

  • Instagram
  • TikTok
  • Facebook
  • YouTube
  • websites
  • event promotion
  • online advertising

Modern publicity sessions can therefore include a mixture of:

  • traditional publicity photographs
  • branding imagery
  • vertical social media content
  • behind-the-scenes content
  • promotional lifestyle photography

This allows performers and entertainers to maintain a more consistent and professional online presence across multiple platforms.

Why Work With Somebody Who Understands Entertainment?

This is your strongest section.

Before moving fully into photography, I spent over 25 years working professionally within the entertainment industry as an entertainment agent and promoter. That experience gives me a genuine understanding of how performers market themselves, attract bookings and promote their acts professionally.

I understand:

  • publicity requirements
  • promotional image usage
  • venue marketing
  • poster design considerations
  • social media promotion
  • audience targeting
  • performer confidence
  • industry presentation

This allows sessions to feel far more collaborative and commercially focused than standard portrait photography.

I wish I could leave 6 stars! I had an amazing time on my personal branding shoot with Steve Lowrey Photography. He is so personable yet highly professional with a laser focus on getting great results. As a young(ish) female who attended the shoot on my own, I felt 110% safe and respected by Steve. Privacy is considered at all times with a separate dressing and makeup area, and Steve respected my personal boundaries for the shoot making sure I always felt comfortable. Plenty of free parking on site and Steve directed me to the studio with ease. Speaking of the studio - it is huge! There is a wide range of backdrops, environments and props all set up and ready to shoot depending on your desired outcome. Steve is an absolutely great guy who really knows his stuff when it comes to taking a good photo. I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone - the results speak for themselves!

Steve recently did the photos for our wedding in Styal, Cheshire. I found him online and after speaking with him felt confident he would capture what we wanted. He did an excellent job and we are really happy with the hundreds of photos he took of our day! There are also some amazing pictures of our dog too which was really important to us. Thank you so much Steve! Highly recommend!
