publicity shots

Images for press

Publicity shots are professionally produced photographs intended to promote a person, product, or production.

Actors, musicians, and public figures use them for press materials, advertisements, and media coverage.

The term typically implies posed, polished images rather than candid photography: The studio released new publicity shots ahead of the film's premiere.
