An approach is provided for generating and sharing compositions based on media elements acquired from different locations. A media generation platform determines an association of one or more media elements with one or more locations. The media generation platform next determines one or more interactions with at least one connecting user interface element to associate the one or more media composition elements with one or more media composition applications. The media generation platform then causes a generation of at least one media composition that includes, at least in part, the one or more media composition elements based, at least in part, on the one or more interactions.
