Description: Intimate views of musicians at play and nature's colorful canvas
With my camera in hand, for the past four decades, I have been chronicling jazz and other music genres. I am attempting to convey to the viewer, both the flowing dynamism and intimate, meditative qualities of musicians intensely at play. Through strict portraiture and camera speed and lighting experimentation, an attempt to instill rapport and intimacy with the vitality of music making.
I have been on the set, bearing witness since the seventies, with no formal art training, a student of the school of trial and error. Just an avid listener, who grew up in a household where all types of music, notably jazz, calypso, reggae, rnb and movie soundtracks and more were appreciated. The camera connection came from watching my father document all, family gatherings and a few select vacation sites. I also apply the same intimate vision to my nature and landscape photography.
Respectfully Yours,
Maurice D. Robertson
