The Count Basie Orchestra at its finest!
I had the opportunity to photograph one of their shows.
It was one of the best concerts that I have ever experienced.

I love big band music, and when the Count Basie Orchestra
is involved, well, it just doesn’t get any better.
I was on assignment, backstage,and captured this image of
a trumpet player warming up.
(I asked his permission to take the photo. I was only
a few inches from him and thought it was the
polite thing to do.)
And the music that night?
Well, I was in heaven.

A street musician in Washington Square Park in New York City plays his piano.
I found it amazing because the street musicians that I see usually play an instrument
that is also simple to carry – a guitar or brass instrument.
How easy could it possibly be to roll a baby grand piano down the street?

Several years ago I was given an assignment to photograph a portrait of a grammar school principal. Coincidentally the gentleman was also a guitar player. He had just cut a CD with his songs, he gave me a copy, and was to be appearing on stage at a popular club with his band. Not all of my portrait assignments are as much fun as this one was.

On a recent assignment at an art gallery, a musician was looking at a painting with trumpet in hand. I spotted the opportunity – Art and the Musician – a perfect blend. Thankfully the musician allowed me to suggest a pose and take his portrait in front of the artwork.
More of my musician portraits and musicians in action can be found at my Lifestyle website.

Recently I was given the assignment of photographing musicians making music. I find this job to be both easy and hard. It’s the type of project that is difficult to put your own stamp of creativity on it. If the musician is a trumpet player, capturing that moment when he/she is at a fever pitch of playing isn’t a challenge. It’s a straightforward photojournalistic moment that displays the musician but not the artistry of the photographer. For me, that is what most “musician performance photography” is – simply getting the best shots of the player at work. But I like to try to put my own stamp on the moment and I think I succeed on occasion. Last year I photographed a close friend of mine, a guitar player, and IÂ captured the moment in my own way.
I think I also put my own stamp on the above image. I added it to my Music Gallery on my Lifestyle Photography website.

My closest friend growing up was a musician. However I am not one. My musical talent is non-existent. I whistle pretty good but that’s about it. And, like the rest of the world, I know what kind of music I like. I have photographed musicians over the years. Sometimes on assignment. Other times it’s candid photography. I recently updated a Musicians Gallery on my Lifestyle and Portrait website. If you take a look, click on Music, and let me know what you think.
