tsp17 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) Here are some shots of my band and me playing a gig last night. A friend of mine is a professional photographer who has photographed many jazz legends up close in performance at the Monterey Jazz Festival and (and many other venues) for decades . https://michaeloletta.com/. He’s a real pro and can make even an amateur like me look like a real musician. I had no idea he was photographing. Consummate professional. The guitar is way more photogenic than me… Edited April 28 by tsp17 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobmeyrick Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I had a look at Michael Oletta's website and I like his comment, "The Jazz images I treasure are not just a "documentation" of the Jazz Artist. The image should reflect the music, mood and the moment." Exactly this. Nearly thirty years ago the tutor on a photography course I was attending said that you take good images of subjects you're passionate about. I also see that he plays bass - I know a few jazz photographers who are also musicians... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a wonderful guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
