Jérôme Brunet’s photographs are narrative. They tell a story of a rock legend on stage in the moment that artist has captured the audience’s heart and imagination.
From Tom Petty and Slash to Pinetop Perkins, Brunet’s still frames chronicle the passion with which these music legends perform.
Q&A:
MAJ: Who are your photography influences?
BRUNET: I picked up an instrument long before I picked up a camera. My mother was a classical music teacher and had me playing cello by age four. I then transitioned into guitar as a teen once I developed a love for rock and blues music. The audio and visual passions collided when I took up photography class in high school and continued on thru college at the E.F.E.T School of Photography in Paris. My first concert I shot was at a blues festival in Paris that headlined blues legend B.B. King. From then on I knew that shooting musical icons was my calling.
MAJ: Do you prefer digital or film? And why?
BRUNET: I shot film all the way thru college and then switched over to digital in 2006. I think its largely surpassed film in almost every way. I’m just glad I learned the basics on film, like getting it right in camera.

The Improbable Worlds of Glen Wexler
Alone cello player sits on top a solitary pinnacle towering above a demon’s hole. Above her head, ravens circle. They’re watching her choreograph her last rites with each draw of her bow.

Her closed eyes and decorated face tell the story of her last breath. All these improbable realities are narratives created by celebrated photographer Glen Wexler.

Lili Haydn And Opium Moon: Kama Sutra Music
Opium Moon plays Kama Sutra music. Her violin weeps the notes of a love ballad. The bow is at times ecstatic and at others barely touching the strings. As she performs, we’re transported to another universe. There are overtones of Itzhak Perlman in her fingers, and Isaac Stern in her bow. Best of all, in her facial expressions you will find the plateaued emotions of her musical performance. Her whole body is into it, like a violent ballet. This is Lili Haydn with Opium Moon.
