PHOTO EXERCISE 03: MUSIC

This is one of my favorite challenges/exercises in photography.

THE CHALLENGE IS TO PICK OUT A SONG THAT YOU LIKE FROM A BAND OR ANY MUSICIAN. IT COULD BE INSTRUMENTAL OR WITH LYRICS. THEN TRY TO PHOTOGRAPH SOMETHING INSPIRED BY THAT MUSIC.

THERE ARE TWO SUB-CHALLENGES FOR THIS:
ONE - IS TO AIM FOR ABSTRACTIONS OR, IN OTHER WORDS, MAKE ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHS
TWO - IS TO HAVE NON-ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHS, THIS MEANS WITH CLEAR REPRESENTATION OF SUBJECT MATTERS

The goal of this exercise is to have us translate the language of music into the visual language, which most of the time can speak about similar things, such as rhythm/pattern, melody/line, moods/textures or colors, and so on.
