The Interplay of Music and Photography

with Leanne Trivett S.

May 5 – 22, 2025

Mondays and Thursdays; 9:30 – 11:30 am (Mountain Time)
  • Tuition $595.00

Course Description

For generations, music and photography have shaped an artistic landscape, each with the power to capture the essence of the human experience. Both mediums weave stories of love, loss, and transformation, offering a window into the emotional fabric of life. By exploring the interplay between sound and image, the pulse of music inspires and elevates the act of image-making.

Through the lens of movement and pattern in music, participants discover how to transcend the ordinary and transform ideas into profound artistic expressions. Together, these two art forms—each rooted in structure—form a symbiotic relationship that deepens our understanding of both.

This new online workshop with Leanne Trivett S. invites participants to explore how the structural elements found in both music and photography—dynamics, balance, harmony, lyric, improvisation, and rhythm—serve as conduits for emotional expression and self-discovery. With a focus on creative exploration, the experience blends lectures on influential artists, reviews of assignment images, and personalized coaching.

By studying the nuances of each medium, participants uncover how the compositional elements of music mirror the components of photography, offering new avenues for personal storytelling. In this immersive workshop, the intersection of sound and sight opens up fresh possibilities for self-expression, artistic growth, and creative inspiration. Join Leanne, with her deep roots in music and theatre, on a boundless creative journey where the art of photography meets the soul of music.
