The title of this project is Capturing the Essence of Musical Identity. The societal/cultural issue I want to explore with my photographs is highlighting the emotions and expressions of a person while using color to illustrate this. The context of my choosing this idea was that I really enjoy listening to music so I want to highlight a person’s identity through this concept. The message I want the audience to take away is how music can play a role in a person’s personality and identity.  I want the audience to understand the emotion behind listening to music and how to understand different people’s choices of music you can further understand the message that I am trying to convey. I will get inspiration from many photographers who use color variations in their photos and photographers who attempt to highlight a person’s emotions and expressions from a simple concept, listening to music.
