egirlcovers connects photo models with music artists who need cover art. Artists browse our gallery and use your photos for their singles, EPs, and albums on streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and SoundCloud.

How It Works

1. Submit your photos — Upload up to 10 photos at once on our submit page
2. Get reviewed — Our team reviews submissions for quality and suitability
3. Go live — Approved photos appear in our gallery for artists to browse
4. Get credited — Your name and social links are displayed with your photo
5. Gain exposure — When an artist uses your photo, their audience sees you

What Makes a Good Submission

Photo Quality

• High resolution (at least 1500x1500, ideally 3000x3000)
• Good lighting — natural or professional
• Sharp focus on the subject
• Square crop works best (we have a crop tool on the submit page)

Style That Works

• Portraits and headshots
• Moody, editorial-style photography
• Natural and candid shots
• Urban and street photography
• Dark and atmospheric aesthetics

What to Avoid

• Heavily filtered or over-edited photos
• Group shots (single subject works best)
• Low resolution or blurry images
• AI-generated or deepfake content
