  • I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Strandberg Guitars, making this instrument inspired by my black and white photography. I picked up the guitar at a young age. It has been a life long dedication and passion. Before my photography career I used to work in the music industry composing music for films and television,. I met Ola Strandberg (lutheir, founder of Standberg Guitars and keen photographer!) on one of my Leica Workshops, and we soon got into conversations about designing a guitar together. You can find out more and hear the guitar in this video.
    Thanks to Ola, Brenda Ty (keys), and everyone at Strandberg.

    Wow, this video blew me away. My wife heard me playing this video and came to see who it was as she was involved in the London music business in the 1960's and heard lots of good and some so so. She was one of the first hand models in London and was shot by all the famous photographers of the day. Such a talent you are in both pursuits. Thanks for this video.

    This is just amazing, Alan you are the second photographer of my acquaintance, (using that term loosely in your case) who has revealed an uncommon musical talent this week. I am blown away by this!

  • @lensman5762
    @lensman5762 5 месяцев назад +5

    The tone of this guitar was superb, and so was your guitar playing.

  • @EnContra808
    @EnContra808 5 месяцев назад +7

    Now it's clear why you're such a talented photographer.
    Music provides you with the analytical thinking and the necessary tools to view life from another perspective, more abstract, so to speak, while also teaching you the importance of always being structured and following patterns; without that, there is no music.

    • @FotomakerAcademy
      @FotomakerAcademy 5 месяцев назад

      Yes, all that and rhythm. Which I think makes for successful visual stories.

  • @Mindartcreativity
    @Mindartcreativity 5 месяцев назад +1

    Alan, I could watch and listen to your playing all day long just as much as I could look at your photographs. Incredible skill backed by incredible hard work.
    I‘m also a guitar player and got into photography some years ago. Pursuing music/guitar and photography just go so well together.

    Alan, glad you shared a music vid with us. The Strandberg sounds lovely and I love the design (I've played Strat's for years). After reading about your "first" career in the music biz it was cool to see you in action. This video was quite candid and natural compared to the photo series (i.e., no acting). I hope that you'll do more pure music videos going forward, and of course, any time there is new photography I am very excited. My dad was Frank Sinatra's sax player, and he loved photography. We had many discussions growing up about how the two arts are intertwined. I wish he was alive to see your work. He would have loved the musicality, and rhythm of your images

    Congratulations. The guitar sounds great, as does the player. Amazing how many photographers play guitar, or is it guitarists who are serious photographers? Ralph Gibson, Andy Summers, I believe Alec Soth plays, Ted Forbes, yours truly. I often see guitars in the background of RUclipsr videos. Interesting.

I've followed your photography for a few years...saw your first RUclips interview on someone else's channel. I thought, some of his photos are surreal.
