Incorporating music as background audio is forbidden, due to the prohibition of listening to and using musical instruments. As for your work as a photographer, its permissibility is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and we have leaned towards its permissibility with certain conditions. It is more appropriate for you to avoid this field to steer clear of controversy and to be cautious in religious matters, especially in photographing championships where private parts may be exposed.
