Getting Quirky with Instagram @music’s Monthly Hashtag Project, #MHPoffbeat

Monthly Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes and hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @music on Instagram.

For this month’s hashtag project #MHPoffbeat, we are looking for unusual/bizarre/funky music photos and videos. To help out, we’ve brought in San Francisco-based photographer Misha Vladimirskiy (@mishavladimirskiy), best known for his “My Own Devices” series, which features musicians interacting with themselves.

Here are a few tips from Misha on how to best capture those weird music moments happening in front of you:

• Shoot from unexpected angles: “Not walking down the straight line usually is the thing that creates the best visual things for me.”
• Don’t try to make your pictures too perfect. “It’s not about making somebody look beautiful. It’s about pulling some sort of energy out of them.”
• Work with another artist or musician to combine styles and try something new. “When I collaborate I create my best work.”

PROJECT RULES: Please add the #MHPoffbeat hashtag only to photos and videos taken this month and only submit your own. If you include music in your video submissions, please only use music to which you own the rights. Any tagged visual taken this month is eligible to be featured.
