Photographing jazz? It's mainly a passion for live performances and a wonderful symbiosis between the artist and the audience. The photographer at the concert must adapt himself to all the unpleasant
conditions, which are insufficient light or changing the light intensity and color of the light and too many microphones on the stage.
Even he knows how to shoot the saxophonist, what position to take to shoot him successfully with his piano or any other instrument, he must be among the musicians on stage. And if he succeeds to make one one good image, during the session it can be considered a lucky day. Musician, it is the body, face and hands, which appeals to us in the photographs and in which the viewer focused on the music, barely notices.
Marie Borenstein photographed exhibited pictures at the jazz festival in Montreal. Photographs shows the extraordinary sensitivity to the unique character of the discretion of individual musicians. Whether it's young kontrabasist Esperanza Spalding, Chucho Valdès, Keb Mo, Oumou Sangare, Jamie Cullum, Chris Botti & Lucia Micarelli, Richard Galliano, Richard Bona, Burning Spear, Dave Brubeck, Gabriella, Hank Jones, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clak & Chick Corea, Mory Kanté, Keith Anderson, Omara Portuondo, Keith Anderson, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Takana Zion and White Lenny.
Marie Borenstein is a photographer who offers a view into the world of jazz through the prism of her inner world, which constantly enriches the paths, looking for and get-togethers. Curator Helena Staub
