Photography
We have created this brand checklist to ensure all photography adheres to our brand guidelines. This allows you to check the use of different brand assets, roughly estimating whether the brand is sufficiently represented, and where there is still potential for improvement.

Do’s
Embrace the grit
The process of making music isn’t usually a smooth process: it’s messy, uncomfortable, and rough patches are inevitable. We recognize and celebrate the gritty nature of creation through photography that feels like a snapshot in time. We welcome the chaos and reject the overcurated. We represent the extroverted and the introverted.

Pay homage to the homemade
The songs that fill stadiums start in bedrooms. We recognize our musical roots, and our lens is contextual—capturing artists in their first home studios.

Connect with our community
No solo artist is ever truly solo when they're with us. We extend an open invitation to artists of all genres and abilities. Artists supporting artists, supporting artists—that's music at Muse. We curb the usual exclusivity that runs in other circles.

From humble beginnings to headlining tours. We show the creators that dare to share their music with the world.
