KNOWING ME


Photographer : Gab
I dedicate a passion to the image and the music since my youth. As far as I remember, there are photographs, movies and music. Since 2002, this passion has grown a new dimension since I devote a major part of my photographic activity to the jazz. Having given up since many years the practice of a musical instrument for lack of time, I share artistic emotions by being the fifth man of a quartette with my camera, fixing for eternity the expression of the musicians which accompanies the so short-lived blue note.
