Musician, Artist, and Album Cover Photo Shoot

Individual sessions start at 12,500 TL. A 60-minute artist portrait session is 12,500 TL, a 90-minute artist profile session is 18,000 TL, and a 120-minute editorial portrait session is 25,000 TL. A two-person group session starts at 30,000 TL, with an additional 8,000 TL for each extra participant.

Yes. For 90- and 120-minute sessions, we shoot square frames for the cover, horizontal frames for the press, and crop-resistant frames for the platform profile, all using the same lighting setup. Conceptual cover shoots that require set design and styling consultation, however, are planned on a project-by-project basis.

Group sessions start at 30,000 TL. This package includes group photos for two members and an individual photo set for each member; an additional 8,000 TL is charged for each additional member. As the number of members increases, the area that requires even lighting expands, so the duration and set plan are determined separately.

The cover art must be square, i.e., in a 1:1 aspect ratio. Spotify accepts square images ranging from 640 to 10,000 pixels. For Apple Music, the recommended size is 3,000 × 3,000 pixels, with a minimum size of 1,400 × 1,400 pixels. The file must be in the sRGB color space; upscaled images are not accepted.

Spotify profiles use an avatar of at least 750×750 pixels, a header image of at least 2660×1140 pixels, and gallery images of at least 690×500 pixels. Spotify does not allow text, ads, busy backgrounds, or tour or album announcements in these images. That’s why we’re designing the poster and profile image separately.

Studio makeup: 8,500 TL; hair styling: 8,500 TL; combined hair and makeup: 14,000 TL. Additional retouched photo: 1,500 TL. Express final delivery within 24 to 48 hours (+) and priority scheduling for after-hours or weekends (+) are available for an additional fee. Styling consultation, art direction, and Spotify Canvas videos are billed on a project-by-project basis.

A deposit is required to confirm the reservation; the balance is settled at the end of the shoot. Since the Istanbul schedule is subject to seasonal availability, the date is only reserved after the deposit is paid. If a date outside of business hours or on the weekend is required, priority scheduling can be arranged for an additional fee of +.

Concept album photo shoots are planned on a project-by-project basis. Going beyond standard portrait work, an art direction is established that is directly based on the song’s concept: atmosphere and color schemes tailored to the album’s story, the creation of custom decor or sets within the studio, and, if necessary, the integration of short vertical videos for Spotify Canvas.

The final photos will be delivered within 3 to 5 business days after you make your selection. If your publication schedule is tight, expedited delivery (24 to 48 hours) can be arranged before the shoot. The photos will be delivered as high-resolution, web-optimized JPEGs.

Composition and focus are confirmed together on-screen during the shoot. You select the final shots from your online selection gallery. Color corrections, retouching, and format adjustments to the delivered files are covered within the scope of the project; any new requests outside this scope will be scheduled separately.

After the shoot, your online selection gallery will open. From the gallery, you’ll select the final shots included in your package; if you’d like additional final shots, they’ll be added at an extra charge per photo. Once the selected shots have been retouched, they’ll be delivered as high-resolution, web-optimized JPEGs.

The specified budgets cover the artist’s, musician’s, or DJ’s use of the materials on their own platforms, in press kits, and as part of their PR efforts. You may print and distribute your profile photos, interview materials, and album cover as you wish. Contract text burakbulut.net/terms-and-conditions/ It is listed on the page.

This type of use falls outside the scope of the standard package. Advertising campaigns for a clothing brand, equipment manufacturer, or other company you’re collaborating with, as well as third-party corporate publications, are subject to a separate licensing agreement. If you anticipate such use, please let us know before the shoot so we can plan the scope from the start.

No. We set up the lighting on set, physically select the backdrop and clothing, and capture the shot with the camera. We do not use AI-generated faces or synthetic backgrounds. Retouching is applied only to the extent necessary to preserve skin and hair texture.

The studio is located at Meydan Street No. 8B, 34413 Kağıthane. It is about a 5-minute walk from the Levent Metro station and is near the Kanyon Shopping Mall. Shootings are scheduled by appointment, and depending on your needs, we can also work at a different location within Istanbul.

Since Burak Bulut Yıldırım’s main project is based in Berlin, the shooting dates at the Levent studio in Istanbul are limited to specific time slots. If you have a specific date for an album, single, concert, or press release, contacting us a few weeks in advance increases the likelihood of finding a suitable date and allows for a more relaxed selection and editing process.

Our main operations are based in Berlin, and the Istanbul program runs on a seasonal basis. We schedule headshot sessions for artists and actors living in Berlin through justaheadshot.co. For project work in Europe, we clarify the dates, scope, and licensing terms before the shoot.
