The creative process for this blog post was inspired by my love for music and music performances. The artist in this picture goes by the name of Da Baby, he is a fairly new artist that has a lot of potential to be one of the greatest in the industry. I captured this image at a concert in East St. louis where Da Baby and many other artist performed. Alongside of that image there is another faded image of me recording a local artist here at Kent State University. That picture was taken at flash fast and it was the first time I was hired to record a live performance. I then fell in love with recording and being a part of the creative process behind live musical performances. Since my topic is about music, I decided to use two pictures of performances to express how much I like hip hop and to represent how much music inspires me.
The main image that you see is a picture that I took while I was in Las Vegas. I chose this picture because of the palm trees and the overall aesthetic it gives to the audience. I wanted to use an image that included palm trees because when I think of the music industry I think of Hollywood. One part of music is about feeling emotions and moods so I wanted this picture to give off a high life aesthetic. I placed both images on the skyline because it represents how people look up to celebrities and artist that make music. Also, this image represents the common dream many musical artists have to move out into the hills of a beautiful city and make music. Ultimately this image represents the way of life many artists peruse on their way of achieving fame and fortune.
