My specialty is jazz photography; live gigs, musician portraits, recording sessions, documentary, and album images.
I came to jazz later in life. I can still remember my first live jazz gig, the whole vibe of the thing just blew me away. The musicians were in charge, making it up as they went along. Later, I understood that this was improvisation: the great collective aesthetic of jazz that creates order on the move. My work is about stories, it’s not just about pictures. I want to make art and I want to feel something for what I create.
Check out my galleries, maybe you will catch the bug too. And if you are interested in reaching out to me for a live gig, portrait session or digital / print images just hit that “Contact Joe” button below.
