Book review
Yesterday I saw a really nice book with and about jazz photography in a local store (Trolltyg): The Jazz Image: Masters of Jazz Photography by Lee Tanner.
In the book there are some jazz photos by one of my favorite photographers: Gjon Mili. Gjon Mili was the photographer who took photos of lindy hoppers for the 1943 Life Magazine cover story on Lindy Hop. He was a real innovator when it came to capturing movement with his camera.
This is the kind of pictures that I would like to make myself. To try to capture the essence and feeling of the performance and to make a portrait of the jazz musicians.
Do you have this book? What do you think of it? Got any tips about other jazz photography books?
