It may sound like a no-brainer, but having your entire EPK built and up-to-date is a very important factor when making submissions. Promoters want to get a sense of who you are as an artist and performer, and you should make sure not to ignore the photo gallery section of your EPK!
The photo gallery allows up to 10 different chances for promoters to get an inside look at you and your performances that they may not get from the audio, video, and main photo alone. You can upload up to 10 photos in your gallery. Standard EPK members can use one of them as their hi-res shot, and Supersonic members—you can have up to 5 hi-res. A high resolution, print quality photo is a great thing to have in your EPK if you're looking for press coverage or want to quickly get your tour posters out to your street team!
It’s important to use your photo section wisely as it’s a great chance to represent your individuality and your image. Throw in some performance shots, a promo headshot, a candid, and anything else you think will visually demonstrate who you are as an artist. This will also give promoters a chance to see what type of venues you play, how you look on stage, and what type of crowd you draw to your live shows.
Remember—it’s best to keep your photos focused on the band or artist. Although it may be artsy or fun to include instrument or landscape shots, these photos might not give promoters a sense of who you are or what your music is like. Treat the photo gallery space as a valuable way to enhance your presentation!
