Moody Cinematic Band Portraits

I’m planning a new series of band portraits that feel instantly atmospheric—think moody, cinematic frames drenched in dramatic shadows and controlled low-key lighting. The final shots will headline our social-media feeds and accompany press releases, so they need to look polished both on small screens and in hi-res print hand-outs.

Here’s what I’m after:
• A short on-location or studio session that lets us play with hard contrast, silhouettes, and selective highlights; no flat, even lighting.
• Expert post-production in Lightroom and Photoshop to accentuate shadow detail without crushing blacks and to give skin tones a subtle, filmic grade.
• Delivery of finished JPEGs and layered PSD or TIFF files, each cropped square, vertical, and horizontal for quick press-pack use, plus a contact sheet of any lightly retouched alternates.

While the core concept is built around dramatic shadows, I’m open to your creative flourishes—if a touch of haze or a bold color rim light enhances the cinematic vibe, let’s talk about it during pre-production.

Please share a few relevant portfolio pieces that showcase low-light artistry, outline your typical turnaround time, and note any gear that helps you nail this look. I’m ready to lock in dates as soon as I find the right collaborator.
