1.1 Background of the Study
Photography plays a vital role in the promotion and visibility of local music, bridging the gap between artists and their audience. In today’s media-driven world, visuals are critical for creating impactful connections and enhancing the marketability of musical talents. For local musicians in Malumfashi Local Government Area, Katsina State, photography provides an accessible and creative medium for showcasing their artistry, cultural heritage, and identity. Social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok rely heavily on photographic content, making it an indispensable tool for engaging audiences and expanding reach. However, local artists in Malumfashi often face challenges such as limited access to professional photography services and inadequate training in visual marketing strategies. Despite these challenges, photography has proven to be a key driver of visibility for emerging talents in other regions, with its ability to highlight performances, create promotional materials, and shape the narrative of an artist’s brand. This study explores the influence of photography on local music promotion in Malumfashi, emphasizing its role in enhancing artist recognition, audience engagement, and cultural representation.
