Rony Afif
Rony Afif, amazing, talented Dubai musician and all round nice guy, commissioned me to do some portrait photos for him last month. I first heard him play jazz standards with his equally talented brother Elie at the Fridge concert series over a year ago was hooked. I’ve subsequently photographed him playing his regular gig at [...]
Band shoot: Casual Jazz
A band shoot for the group Casual Jazz represented by The Fridge. I found this incredible abandoned park which was overgrown, dusty and unkempt. What a gem! With the sun setting and casting a lovely golden light it was a pleasure shooting this awesome band. You wouldn’t guess this was shot in Dubai! There was [...]
The Fridge Harpists Shoot
Finally some shots from the recent artists shoots one for the Fridge! We had a fun time with four harps in one studio… quite the challenge! The Fabulous Helga Bosman handled the hair beautifully.
Hugo Ticciati Performance at The Fridge
The Fridge had a Fringe concert on Thursday evening with violinist Hugo Ticciati. The concert was imbued with the collaborative, creative and kind spirit of the talented musician, with local artists and dancers amazingly incorporated into the diverse performance. It is such a rare pleasure to be so welcomed as a photographer and I was [...]
Jazz Fest 2011 Images
A selection of images from the recent Dubai Jazz Festival. Unfortunately I could only make it to one of the evenings to shoot Rachael Calladine performing with Ian Shaw. These shots are from a later performance by a wonderful flutist and her band.
Fridge Concert Series Images
The Fridge Concert Series kicked off with the fabulous Afif Brothers with guest Tigran Peshtmajyan on Xylaphone, a renowned Armenian jazz musician. Astighik Artsruni, Armenian vocalist, accompanied a few numbers to the delight of the audience. This was the first concert shoot with my new 70-200mm f2.8 lens and I found it absolutely invaluable in [...]
Mathew Curtis Musicians Portfolio Shoot
This shoot was done some time ago in Abu Dhabi for multi-talented musician Mathew Curtis. I wasn’t able to release the images till now, however. Here are some of his selection from the shoot. They were done with speedlights, one behind and snooted as a back-light, and one diffused from the upper right.
Cool’s the Rule
I met up with Cool’s the Rule, a jazz band from Abu Dhabi at their regular Friday night gig at the Novotel Abu Dhabi for this shoot. We did a combination of some set portraits and performing shots. It was challenging as the space was quite small and very dimly lit. So I ended up [...]
DIA Winter Concert
I took some shots at the DIA Winter concert a couple of days ago. It was a very impressive show, well-staged and some talented young performers. Please view the slideshow from the evening below, and if you wish to order any prints or downloads, just click on the gallery or on this link: http://tiffanyschultz.photoshelter.com/gallery/DIA-Winter-Concert/G0000psaMmFgUfm0/ DIA [...]
Abu Dhabi Big Band Shoot
Last week saw me driving up to Abu Dhabi for a shoot with Mathew Curtis, a talented musician who plays with the Abu Dhabi Big Band. I was also commissioned by the band to do some shots on the same evening. I nearly didn’t make it when my car battery died at a petrol station [...]
The Fridge Final Concert 2010
The Fridge Concert Series came to a close with a solo guitar performance by Sach Holden. His moving, sometimes dark, sometimes funny, lyrics and his timid charm, winning the audience. I wasn’t able to get as many shots as I would have liked to, but I am so looking forward to January when I will [...]
Haley Kallenberg at the Fridge
I was completely blown away by Haley Kallenberg’s performance, her free-wheeling, experimental, improvisational spontaneous composition is very compelling. She plays as if the instrument were an extension of her body, closing her eyes and rocking back and forth as she variously strikes or softly strokes the keys. The pieces she played were charged with emotion [...]
Headshot Tips
Performers’ Headshots Great, professional quality headshots are a vital part of any performer’s career, whether a musician, dancer, singer, actor, band, comedian, radio personality or TV presenter. They can determine whether or not you get that much desired job or gig. Headshots are also needed by business-people, executives and business owners for their websites and [...]
Little Big Band at the Fridge
Wow! What an evening. It was like being transported back to varsity days when I used to follow the Rhodes Big Band around in adoration. The Abu Dhabi big band (from which the Little Big Band comes) must be incredible, judging by the performance of their members last night. Most of them are teachers, so [...]
Fridge Concert: Afif Brothers feat. Georges Kassis
At the Fridge last week in Jazz heaven with this excellent band, Rony & Elie Afif with visiting Lebanese pianist Georges Kassis. I was enjoying the music too much to remember to take pictures, but managed to get a few shots. Love jazz shots in black and white. A bit of flare fro the stage [...]
Musician Profile Shoot
I always love working with musicians and performers! I really enjoyed this shoot with Jonathan the other day. It was done in his apartment, though you’d never guess! I went with some simple back-lighting which gave his profile that lovely outline. It also created some nice highlights on the black piano keys and the shadows [...]
Harps for Peace at the Fridge
Harps for Peace took place at The Fridge on Sunday evening. It was an unusual event, with the most harps that have ever been assembled in one room in the UAE! It is an international initiative that takes place across the globe and sees harpists performing in a public place at the same time once [...]
The Fridge Shoot
Testing out the Canon 1D Mark IV at the Fridge, Dubai with a band led by an incredible singer, Rachel Calladine. The Rachel Calladine Quintet were rehearsing at the Fridge while I shot away using one strobe with a snoot attached. I was going for a natural and spontaneous feel with the lighting quite dramatic [...]
