band photo

Musicians posed together

A band photo is a promotional image of a musical group, typically showing all members posed together.

These photos appear on album covers, press materials, and social media.

The term often carries ironic connotations about awkward staging or dated styling: Their first album had that classic terrible band photo with everyone standing in an alley.
