They include solo artists Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Dionne Bromfield, Carl Barat and KT Tunstall.
Groups Razorlight and Badly Drawn Boy were also captured in relaxed settings by Matt Humphrey.
The prints will be auctioned to raise money for the charity African Workshop, which runs creative community centres for underprivileged children in Mali, West Africa.
Mr Humphrey, 32, of Muswell Hill, said: "It has been an exciting rollercoaster ride into the world of these fantastic musicians who have given their time to the project.
"The shoots have been predictably unpredictable and although the subjects kept me on my toes, I've loved every one of them."
He raised £12,000 last year with a similar project featuring 31 actors, including Kevin Spacey.
Ben Holt, who runs the African Workshop, said: "We run pop-up workshops for kids, an educational project where they get their school fees paid, a drop-in primary school and we are working with a street kids programme. This money is going to make a huge difference to the children of Mali."
The images will feature in an exhibition at The Strand Gallery from January 9-22. A silent auction of signed, limited-edition prints is open now at 31thirtyone.com
