Image of the month

This is a brand new feature that we thought might be fun. Each month we're going to hand-pick a particularly striking image from the world of music and share some thoughts on it.

Our first image of the month is: Stevie Wonder by Al Satterwhite.

I love this photograph and it's probably my favourite of Stevie Wonder. Although, there is another image that runs a close second. What I like most about this photograph is the clever perspective, which makes the hands seem almost larger than life, and the way the microphone leads the eye into Stevie's classic expression. A skillfully constructed image that really makes you feel Stevie's unique energy! What do you think?
