Try to capture the essence of the music. Here, Daniel Champagne performs live at the 2016 Illawarra Folk Festival. His performance is heavily based around his guitar, and I sought to capture that. © Caz Nowaczyk.

Music can cover so many things. You can go out and shoot live performances by musicians, crowds at a gig, or photograph musical instruments or sheet music as part of a still life composition.

They can be color, or black and white. They can be a small part of a wider composition or you can focus in on their fine details – the decision is yours! Try using negative space, or simply capture the action, emotion and atmosphere.

So, check out these pics to give you some ideas, have fun, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
