The Jazzman

Description

This man plays the beat box in one of the most influential jazz bands in Peru. They are breaking into the jazz scene in America now, and I had the privilege of photographing them at an event I was hired to shoot. I thought he was so interesting, and I took so many photos of him as I tried to get "the" perfect photo. He eventually got amused (as you can see) by my constant clicking.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/60 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 800, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D
