Shooting The Stars by James Karinejad

Changing back round to a relatively new piece of art/photography and then matching the music. This photograph by James Karinejad is one I’ve been wanting put up recently. He took this shot in the very early hours of the night in Greece, having very little experience of astrophotography. There are so many elements in the picture that work though, which are all down to the skill of the photographer. I could go on and on about many features in the picture, but there is one small detail that stands out for me, and that’s the one swing that is actually in motion.
It’s that one swing that kept throwing me off several music choices, most of them classical. The majority of the photograph seems upbeat and light, with the perfect sky and stars. But it is that one swing, which can convey a sense of emptiness, that led me to select On The Nature of Daylight by Max Richter as the accompanying music. It seems to capture the beauty of the sky above, and the vacancy of the swing.
