EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Russell Cheyne, we are transported to the enchanting city of Edinburgh, Scotland on January 1st, 2018. Against the backdrop of the majestic Edinburgh Castle, a piper stands tall and proud as he plays a hauntingly beautiful tune to herald in the New Year during the Hogmanay celebrations. The close-up shot focuses on the bagpipes held firmly in his hands, their intricate details highlighted against the pink-colored brick wall. The piper himself remains unrecognizable, his figure shrouded in shadows that add an air of mystery to his performance. As he breathes life into his musical instrument with creative use of melody and skillful play, it seems as though even the environment around him is captivated by his music. The depth of field technique employed by Cheyne adds depth and dimension to this image; while some elements remain out of focus, they contribute to creating a sense of atmosphere and ambiance. With plenty of copy space surrounding our protagonist, viewers are invited to imagine themselves within this scene or reflect upon their own experiences with music's power. This photograph beautifully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents how traditions intertwine with modernity. It serves as a reminder that no matter where we come from or what language we speak, music has an incredible ability to unite us all under its universal language.
