Answer
In Lenses & Lyrics, I do not have a single “definitive guide” document, but there is a clear approach that runs through everything:
- Start with the person, not the craft: I focus on the stories of photographers who are or were musicians, and musicians shaped by photography.
- Explore how sound changes how we see: rhythm, dynamics, and emotion in music often mirror composition, contrast, and timing in photography.
- Connect timelines: bands, tours, album art, pits, and backstage moments become the narrative thread between the two mediums.
- Keep it practical and nostalgic: how being in bands, studying music, and shooting shows directly influences how we shoot, edit, and feel images today.
If you want a starting point, the debut episode of Lenses & Lyrics is the closest thing to a “guide” to my own philosophy.
What aspect are you most interested in—creative process, career path, or technical crossover (like how music theory influences composition)?
