“The true beauty of music is that it connects people, it carries a message, and we the musicians are the messengers”. Roy Ayers

I’ll begin by saying that music affects everyone. It’s universal. The human condition as a whole is encapsulated by music and musical phenomenon – from feelings of joy and sadness to cultural bonding. Musicians in common with most artists make great subjects as they see and feel the world in a different way to most.  Music to those in these portraits is a passion, love and in some cases a life long obsession.  Like photography and other  art forms there is no way to measure their skills or success as each who hears their music will have a different experience.   They like photographers create and every person looking at these photographs or listening to these people play will see my images or hear their creation in a different way.  Creativity belongs to the artist in each of us. To create means to relate.
