Usually for me, it changes from series to series. A good example is from when I used to live in Brighton, and for a while was listening to nine inch nails year zero, which I think might have had a slight influence on the work.

So what do you have playing while shooting?

    Music takes over too much of my brain, so I don't listen to anything when shooting. Perhaps if I had more brain matter left, it would be different...lol3.gif

    This is called Qawalli and guy is Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (Late:cry). I know you cannot understand it but it is very deep. He useto sing philosophical poetry of famous poets writers etc.
    I like the qawalli because of rythem of drums etc going low to high wow.

    If I am at a kiting event and amongst the flyers then the only thing I listen to is them screaming at me to get out the way when a trick goes wrong ear.gifKite buggy and flyer can make quite an impact on ones skull

    Other times it is whatever is on my favourite mp3 tracks are at the time

    I don't listen to music while shooting usually. I do listen for birds of course when outside :D

    I don't listen to any kind of music when I'm out shooting and I love music and play the drums and guitar. Photography is about being "in the moment" for me and I need both sides of my brain focused (no pun intended :D)
