Claxography
I'm currently reading a book called Claxography : Art of Jazz Photography which is by the photographer William Claxton.
It's a great book, packed full of black and white photographs of cool jazz musicians from the 1950's to the present day.
Claxton started photographing musicians as people, not just as performers. After decades of award-winning jacket photos, magazine layouts, books and exhibitions, he is the most celebrated photographer in jazz history.
I'm hoping to get a bit of practice photographing modern-day jazz musicians at the upcoming Gateshead International Jazz Festival. Still waiting to hear from The Sage if I can take my camera to the event - so will keep you posted :)
