Neue Ausstellung: Musikerporträts

This year I was asked to present a photo exhibition in a music festival im my area. I already had 3 portraits of musicians that I made previously, so it only made sense to go with the theme ‘Musicians and their Instruments’.
When thinking about the way the images should look, I tried to concentrate on a triangle of factors: the concrete musician and instrument, and the more vague relationship between the two. A fourth, more abstract factor, which I tried to incorporate into the images without informing my subjects, was the way that I see these instruments, being a non-musician surrounded by creative and devoted enthusiast and professional musicians. Some of them did notice that my idea of how they look and feel (musically) were different than the way they perceive themselves, but were kind enough to go, sometimes jump, along with it.
