Jazz. Aleksey Kaznadey

I love jazz for its atmosphere. I notice how people suddenly change when they pick up a musical instrument. And especially in their eyes.

For a long time, this special look in the eyes I saw from all sorts of musicians was a mystery to me. After a while, I realized that it was love for the music they were playing.

I made it my goal to shoot jazz.

I’ve been in the dressing rooms, backstage, on the lighting mast, and lying under the drum kit. In these moments I play my camera together with everyone else. I show the concert in a way you cannot see it from the audience.

My goal is to show that music can be captured, and those photos will sound.

I hope this project will encourage more people to appreciate this great music.
