A 25+ year career in the music business, gives me the history, knowledge and network to build creative, comprehensive and powerful branding for musicians, artists and consumer brands. Specializing in branding strategy and creative direction for artists, product lines and companies, my photos and video production can help you stand out amidst a sea of creatives vying for success in the market.
Services
I'm a branding strategist, photographer, and video creator. I help music artists and businesses like yours stand out from all the noise in the market through creative, innovative, and bold-looking content! I work with clients like you to help you understand your core values, create your brand identity system, shoot amazing-looking photo and video content, and design your brand experience!
You're a pro now! With countless hours mastering your craft as an artist, you may still be doubting you even belong in this professional space. But here's the thing. Let's level up your brand with a creative photoshoot that will get you noticed and help get you booked. I've worked in the music industry for over two decades and I know what kind of images resonate with fans and tastemakers.
Video is more prevalent and valuable today than ever before. Your brand needs high-quality and engaging video to convert site visitors into sales, to showcase your products and services in a relatable way and to contribute to your community in a way that text simply cannot. I can deliver the video content your brand needs with a graceful edge and powerful voice.
Watch my video content to join me in my process of photography and branding work with clients, music business interviews and adventures. Don't Be A Dick! Success in the music business (or any business really), is largely predicated on your personal brand, and how you are perceived by others. Especially when those "other" people are the ones who can provide opportunities for you.

Jeff was so much fun to work with! He gave great directions, had fun ideas, was quick to get the right shot, and delivered the photos as and when promised. I love the background colors that he chose for each photo, I felt that he gave it a lot of thought as how he would go about retouching the final photo. I already have a favorite photo in the set that I am excited to post!

Jeff Straw is not just someone I can rely on for all of visual and branding needs; he is a professional who masterfully leverages his creative skills to deliver high-quality content. On each project, Jeff listens actively and intentionally to gain a deep understanding of the client's goals. He is also an ally for the BIPOC community. He continues to play a vital role in REEM Media's success, a WOC-owned and operated small business.

Jeff is great to work with and I can’t recommend him enough. He’s done multiple projects for me, both personal and for my organization. He’s extremely professional, while also being fun to work with. He’s done professional photos for me personally, as well as done excellent live event coverage and did a great job capturing the moment. His photography and image editing are top notch and I’ve always been very happy with the results. I always look forward to working with Jeff and will be hiring him for more work in the future!

I’ve had multiple shoots with Jeff. His overall demeanor is positive and their to achieve the clients goals. He knows how to set the shoot up just right and make you comfortable. Outside of just photo shoots, I’ve done one music video shoot with Jeff. I cannot express my satisfaction from the moment we started the project to the delivery of the final product. There was a lot of dialogue back and forth to ensure the final product was what I wanted. I always enjoy working with Jeff and def plan to continuing working with Jeff in the future.

Jeff is amazing! He took his decades of experience in the music industry and tailored it for me and my music. He was able to help me carve out a specific path forward for my brand and help me unify all my imaging and branding so it all focuses directly where it should; me and my music. He was smart, funny, professional and most of all knew what he was talking about. He was able to fit a style to my music and not the other way around which is awesome. I can’t wait to utilize everything he built for me and come back again later when I’m ready to kick things up to the next level. Absolutely recommend
