This photo showcases a minimalist approach to a unique perspective using macro photography, a musical instrument, and a miniature figure. For my love of music, I created an image that reminds me of attending live concerts. The challenge of this project was to see beyond a microphone and tap into your inner child. My aim is to demonstrate how a familiar instrument can be thrilling and let your imagination soar.
