Conceptual Photography as Representation Media of Local Communities in Responding The Rains in The Wrong Season Phenomena. This article contains the results of research on conceptual photography which is used as a media to represent local people's attitudes towards the phenomenon of rain in the wrong season (udan salah mangsa). This research uses a photographic approach to understand the phenomenon of udan salah mangsa from the local community perspective. How do people respond to rain anomalies and natural events in their environment, including in relation to the issue of climate change. The research approach used is qualitative with the method of solving research problems carried out through a process of creative thinking with the basis of ideas about concept art, conceptual photography, and representation. The results of the study show that conceptual photography of udan salah mangsa is an appropriate medium to represent local people's attitudes towards the rain anomaly phenomenon. The main building blocks in the creation of conceptual photography, namely the concept and skills of photography, have been successfully processed and some of them have been embodied in prototypes of visual concept photo works. A strong concept can be obtained through collecting data from various sources so that it is accurate as well as a good understanding of photography so that works are expected to have cognitive interference so that awareness of natural environmental conditions arises.
