Picture This - A Friendly Place to Improve Your Photography

I Love Music

What's the soundtrack to your life?

What brings on those forgotten memories, and gets you onto the dancefloor?

This week we want you to communicate your love of music through your pictures.

Through the rise and rise and rock n’ roll from it’s roots in the blues of the American Deep South to slick airbrushed packaged pop, photographers have been there to document not only the artists but the cultural milieu that surrounds them.

Music evokes a passion from it’s devotees, not matter what genre, and this is what we want to see in your pictures. You can be descriptive, document your favourite band, but we're looking for something else that really shows the depth of human emotion that music provokes.

How will you communicate your love of music?

Perhaps the music you love has an accompanying lifestyle, a rich history, a social undercurrent. How can you express that in your photo? Instead of sifting through past images go out and get involved; see a local band, go to a festival, watch the crowd, the musicians, absorb the atmosphere and find your shot.

Have a look at these professional exponents of music photography for a bit of inspiration:

Ditto to all of the above. Check me out at elliotbuttons.deviantart.com and perhaps you would like to join. It's free for a basic membership, which surpasses my idea of basic.
