MUSICIANS (SELECTION)
my fascination with jazz led me to photography at an early age, offering unique insights into the world of musicians, especially during the intimate moments of soundchecks. these days, i rarely practice jazz photography, as the experience of focused, attentive listening has become more meaningful to me.
moreover, the landscape of concert photography has shifted – increasingly strict regulations from concert and music agencies have made access more challenging.
still, for me, the music remains at the heart of it all, and capturing it through a lens is no longer essential. yet, jazz photography continues to be my special ticket into this world, a lasting connection to a scene that continues to inspire me.
