Professional project research
After the meeting that on 14 March, I decided to start doing some research among famous music photographers, this to try to get new ideas in my project.
One of them is Guido Harari, who has had the opportunity to learn about and photograph the biggest myths of music, from Fabrizio De André to Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, David Bowie, Frank Zappa ..
Lou Reed said about him: I’m always happy when Guido takes my picture because I know it will be a musical picture. And it will also have some poetry and feeling to it. The things that Guido captures with his portraits, including mine and certainly Laurie’s, are generally speaking ignored by other photographer, for whatever reasons. Also that kind of photos are usually taken by a friend, not somebody you don’t know. I consider Guido a friend, not a photographer, and that’s why certain picture can be taken”.
In 2011 Guido manages to create the Wall Of Sound Gallery, creating a perfect setting for lovers of music and photography, where you can find precious photographs of great quality of some of the legendary icons in music history.
Looking at some of the shots from this photographer I found photos of Bob Marley, which immediately caught my attention, because the kind of Andrew music album music is reggae, just like Bob.

These are two of the most famous photos that Harari had a chance to take to the singer;
The first thing I notice in this picture is how the singer is at ease while being photographed, has an amused and feels so comfortable to smoke in front of the photographer.
In the second photo the thing I appreciate most is the choice to only illuminate the face, leaving out even the hair, especially that I think people thinking bob marely expect to see in a picture, capturing your attention exclusively on his face.
The choice of black and white in these photos is another thing that I really appreciate, allows you to focus even more on his face conveying a feeling that maybe the color would have taken from you.
Another photographer who has captured my attention and David Burnett, also had the opportunity to photograph the famous singer Bob Marely, on two different occasions: The first as a correspondent of "Time" magazine in 1976. In Jamaica, and a year later on invite the magazine "Rolling Stone".
Only a few photos were published by magazines and much of the material in the archive was closed Brunette for over thirty years until in 2009, impressed by the uniqueness of those images largely miraculously inedited, Cris Murray of Govinda Gallery, Washington offered him to expose them in an exhibition and publishing it in his first book, Soul Rebel. An Intimate Portrait of Bob Marley.
