Photo essay Pitch

For my photo essay I would like to focus on the return of live music as pandemic restrictions loosen up. I think this would be more of a character driven piece as I would like to focus on how the performers’ careers were affected with a lack of live showings. There are a few restaurants with live music that I will be getting into contact with for this assignment. I would like to photograph the musicians while they set up for their show as well as taking photos during the performance. I think visually the focus would be on the expressions of the performers and the atmosphere of the show.
