Description I shot about 300 photos of this guy today. I met him at a wedding I shot a few months back and swore I'd get him in front of the camera for a New Orleans Jazz theme, honoring the victims of Hurricane Katrina. So here are some of the results. Hope you like.

your lighting is fantastic..........love the light in his eyes and the way his line of sight follows the line of the trumpet out of the frame. And his boney hands look so experienced in making that trumpet sing
