Assignment
Music - humankind has always known just how much it can touch our very core. Music can elevate us or make us sad, it can lift us out of times of despair and can allow us just let go and dance. We want to see how you can tell an audio story visually - show us something that plays a tune in our mind's eye when we see that image. Capturing sounds in an image isn't possible, but capturing the feeling of that moment is. It could be as simple as someone playing an instrument or just rocking out on their earphones. You could focus on subtle nuances and details or make us see the bigger picture, the choice is yours in how you want to tell your story. You can incorporate other genres like action, night photography, portraiture or street photograpy when looking out for a subject for your music story. Or you might take inspiration from our "Line From A Song" challenges over the years to help tell us of a song lyric that speaks to you. If you're fortunate enough to shoot a live gig, you might want to look to capture the emotion, creativity, chaos and intensity of being able to share music with other human beings. Music and photography are creative arts - show us how you bring them together.
