Editors Note: On this episode I start a contest with Adam Elmakias’ Music Photography Workshops where I am sponsoring a chance to win one of two entries into the workshops, happening in San Diego on January 7th & 8th, 2019. Details and rules are here. I think I first saw Jaz Meadows’ work on Instagram, or maybe it was through Mattias Hombauer’s Shooting the Rockstars Facebook Group, I don’t remember, but what I do remember perfectly clear was my reaction. “How the hell does this guy get such amazing Black & White images. His approach to processing Black & White shots blows me away. Jaz is a Live Music Photographer from Melbourne Australia that’s been on the scene for the last 4 1/2 years. He started, as so many have, by sneaking cameras into concerts, but now he’s shooting for some of Australians top publications, PR companies, and touring companies. Let’s get back to the Black & White Black stuff for a second. When Jaz sent me his bio it said: “Black and white is Colour and captures the energy that is everything music.” I had to think about that for a bit, but it makes sense – especially once you’ve seen Jaz Meadows’ work. He treat Black & White processing as though it’s full of color and nuance. I am not going to lie, I want Jaz on the show not just talk about his amazing photography, but to hopefully have some of his skill rub off on me. As far is Jaz is concerned, his story is in his art, and that shows in every image. Jaz Meadows does some amazing imagery, so join me as I sit down with him to dissect his image of the band AFI (A Fire Inside) entitled “The Wind That Carries Me Away” on this episode of Behind the Shot.
