*Blue Ron*
Cyanotype on Fabriano Artistico 300gsm, HP, Extra White
This shot is a little more analog than the others in the series in that the initial photo was made on film. In all fairness, when I shot concerts (and, I hope, when I can do so again) I did most of it on digital. The conditions in (mostly) badly lit jazz clubs make shooting on film really tricky, and I have nothing but admiration for all those concert photographers from the heyday of jazz. But this one of soul-blues singer Ron Smyth and it’s one of the few concert shots I have that I think feel truly universal. My wife really doesn’t like this huge negative space and the lack of detail, but that’s exactly what I love about this cyanotype print.
