Classically Trained
While I was not classically trained in the sense that most understand it, the talented people you will find on this page certainly were. What I learned from these amazing people has been verberating, reverberating, pausing, echoing, and syncopating in practically every aspect of my life since.
I was not pursuant to Event Photography. I was invited. As a Fine Art Photographer, it was my first instinct to pass. I am glad I didn’t. Prior to these images, I had only ever taken one concert photo. It’s on the About Page.
These images are from
- The St. Augustine Music Festival
- Napa Music Festival
- Dr. Kenn Gartner Studio
- Sherman Clay Steinway Center
- Carnegie Hall
St. Augustine Music Festival 2011, 2014, 2015
Beautiful concerts are held every summer in the historic Cathedral Basilica – the oldest cathedral in the United States, with interior walls dating to 1797. The acoustics are excellent, as were all the performances and performers. Enjoy a short clip from Jorge Pena with Dr. Scott Watkins on piano.
Maestro; a master in the art, especially a composer, conductor, or music teacher.
Dr. Kenn Gartner
Teaching a teacher
Dr. Gartner’s knowledge of music is encyclopedic, dynamic, old-school, and intuitive. Every shoot, every conversation = smarter me. To prove that it is not possible to be around Dr. Kenn Gartner without learning something – enjoy this lesson to inventor/teacher/super-mom Tara O’Brien Boykin on Sympathetic Vibration.
I found that the space between the notes was the best place for this concert photographer to hide.
