Last Blog of 2024: Client Success Story

At Raquel Figlo Public Relations, we pride ourselves on connecting talent with unparalleled opportunities, leveraging our network to deliver results that exceed expectations. A recent collaboration between rising celebrity photographer Billy Murray of Hosstyle Photography and retired NFL player-turned-country-musician Kyle Turley exemplifies the magic that happens when the right people come together.


In anticipation of a series of announcements leading up to the Super Bowl, Kyle Turley sought to refresh his brand with a photoshoot that would authentically capture his essence—his commanding physical presence and his evolving identity as a country artist. With Raquel Figlo’s network at work, Billy Murray was introduced to Kyle, and the two hit the ground running.



Behind the Lens: Billy Murray and Kyle Turley Team Up for a Bold New Look

When celebrity photographer Billy Murray of Hosstyle Photography met retired NFL star-turned-country-musician Kyle Turley, it was the beginning of a creative partnership that brought their shared vision to life.


Kyle Turley, known for his time with the Rams, Chiefs, and Saints, is entering a new chapter as a country musician. Recently signed to a Nashville record label, Kyle was in need of fresh imagery to represent his evolving identity. He wanted photos that captured his personality and reflected his passion for this new direction. Billy Murray, known for his bold and authentic style, was brought in to handle the shoot. The two decided on a secluded VRBO property in Buffalo, New York, as the backdrop—an ideal setting for the moody and rugged look Kyle envisioned.



The Experience

From the first meeting, the connection between Kyle and Billy was effortless. “Kyle had a clear idea of what he wanted, and that made the process flow really naturally,” Billy said. “It didn’t take long for us to get into a rhythm.” Kyle came prepared with a well-thought-out wardrobe and props that aligned with the creative direction. The three-hour session was focused and productive, with both artist and athlete collaborating to achieve the perfect shots. “Kyle’s energy and vision really brought these images to life,” Billy shared. “You can tell he’s someone who puts his all into everything he does.”


The Results

The final images captured by Billy were exactly what Kyle needed—striking, powerful, and full of personality. These photos will play a central role in Kyle’s upcoming country album launch and marketing campaigns, as well as his efforts to build his brand in the hemp industry through Power Plant Depot, a Tennessee-based company he co-founded with Jim Riley.

For Billy, this project was another example of the power of collaboration. “Working with someone as driven and passionate as Kyle made this one of the most rewarding shoots I’ve done,” Billy said.
