Music is a powerful storytelling tool for visual artists in every medium. A good soundtrack helps set the mood, evoke emotions and create a deeper connection with the viewer. For professional photographers, turning their images into slideshows and social media reels is a great way to captivate audiences, and create an immersive client experience.

We’ve recently updated our Slideshows editor with new music features and expanded its music offering to include the full Soundstripe library - over 10,000 fully licensed tracks. With a vast selection covering every mood, genre, and instrument, and automated beatmatching for every track, finding the right soundtrack is now easier than ever.

Get Inspired

To celebrate the new updates, we asked 3 leading photographers to curate their own playlists featuring their favorite new tracks, along with a slideshow or reel that brings their selections to life. Dive in and maybe you’ll discover the soundtrack for your next slideshow or reel!

Monika Frias’ Top Picks

““Having access to over 10K tracks makes such a difference, and the AI-beatmatching makes the whole process seamless. I also love that I can upload my own tracks and still get that perfect timing. The AI search for similar tracks is super handy too, especially when I’m looking for the right vibe.””

Kaley from Kansas’ Top Picks

““Music is a huge inspiration for me, so Slideshows really brings two passions together - imagery and music. I really enjoy the Favorites, where I can save my favorite tracks, while also discovering some of my friends’ picks! The beatmatching capability is so cool and allows it to flow nicely.””
