Pavla from Saint James City, United States
He has an interesting expression in his face...
was he observing?
listening?
questioning?
being shy?
Really nice portrait!

@Pavla: Thanks Pavla for your great comments here! Yes he is a very interesting person and a great musician. I think he is shy and retiring. In fact alot of the jazz musicians I meet are really great un-assuming people... so refreshing really.
I was asked to come along to a rehearsal session for a new band that were also preparing for recording and performing this year. The place they were rehearsing was a cramped garage with crap lighting. So I had to use a flash. All I had was a Nikon flash that I bounced off the ceiling (dark timber rafters) on my Canon DSLR. I just directed him to sit with his bass and talk about his music.

Wow Matt...this portrait is amazing! The angle is really different and I like how he is one with his stand up bass. Excellent frame.

@bluechameleon: Thanks so much Blue. You really honour me with your comments! I stood on a milk crate to get some elevation. He is a very tall man and his bass is huge. He is one with his bass. Some people are easy to capture.
