CMU Training team share photo tips
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 13 March 2012
The team from CMU Training have again posted a little helping of tips on theCMUwebsite.com, this time on a music PR theme.
As previously reported, the team behind CMU’s acclaimed training courses are now posting regular tip pieces on the CMU site which, over time, will build to create a great library of information and advice for DIY artists, music entrepreneurs, and those working across the industry. The tips are pulled from the CMU Training courses, full-day seminars offering insights, explanations and practical advice on different parts of the music industry. This week’s tips come from the course ‘Promoting Music – Media, Social Media & More’ and focus on the all important band photo.
Says CMU Publisher Chris Cooke: “New bands often ask me what their priorities should be once they have a little bit of money to spend, and I think getting some good band photos is high on the agenda. You don’t need to go overboard, but a picture tells a thousand stories, and in the social media age – especially with the current rise of Tumblr and Pinterest – pictures are more important than ever. But before you all look into the camera and say ‘cheese’, do check out our tips for band photos, which come from a media point of view, ie what magazines and websites are looking for”.
You can access the tips via www.theCMUwebsite.com/training
The next edition of the CMU course ‘Promoting Music – Media, Social Media & More’ takes place on 28 Mar in Shoreditch, East London, and places are just £95 plus VAT. There are also a couple of places available on this week’s course, ‘Revenue, Investment & Deals In The New Music Business’.
