Duende – The Soul of Andalusian Music

Introduction:

Duende is a term used to describe the intense emotional expression and passion that is characteristic of Andalusian music. This case study aims to capture the duende of Carmen y Sergi, a talented duo consisting of Carmen, a singer, and Sergi, a guitarist, as they perform traditional Spanish Andalusian music.

Objective:

The objective of this case study is to create a visual narrative that showcases Carmen y Sergi’s music, style, and emotional connection to the Andalusian culture. The photographs should evoke the feeling of being transported to the sun-kissed hills of Andalusia, surrounded by the sounds and rhythms of flamenco and traditional Spanish music.

Concept:

The photography case study will consist of a series of images that capture Carmen y Sergi‘s performance, as well as their interactions and emotions during the shoot. The goal is to create intimate and dynamic photographs that convey the passion and energy of Andalusian music.

Key Scenes:

  • Candid shots of their way of getting inspiration for their songs
  • Carmen’s expressive face and body language as she pours her heart into the music
  • The duo’s interactions and chemistry, showcasing their connection and camaraderie

Style:

The photography style will be a mix of documentary and fine art, with a focus on capturing the authentic and emotional moments of Carmen y Sergi‘s performance. The use of warm, golden light and rich colors will evoke the feeling of Andalusia’s sun-drenched landscapes and passionate culture.

Deliverables:

The final deliverables will include a series of high-resolution photographs, edited and retouched to enhance the mood and atmosphere of the images. The photographs will be presented in a case study document, along with a brief introduction and captions that provide context and insights into Carmen y Sergi‘s music and style.

Conclusion:

The Duende photography case study aims to capture the essence and passion of Andalusian music, as performed by Carmen y Sergi. Through intimate and dynamic photographs, the case study will showcase the duo’s music, style, and emotional connection to the Andalusian culture, transporting the viewer to the sun-kissed hills of southern Spain.
