BLUES HANDS is about Blues music and about photography, and the power they both hold. Through images of hands, it conveys the strength, beauty, diversity, depth and power of the Blues, the root of all American music. It isn’t simply close-ups of hands, but includes gesture, posture, moment and emotion, with hands being the thread and theme that unifies the content.
The book features photographs from Joseph A. Rosen’s 30 plus year adventure in Blues and music photography. From the introduction: “In viewing the hands in this book, one is aware of great differences: youthful or venerable; lots of rings or no rings; short stubby digits or long slender fingers, all being utilized in the service of music.” It appeals to lovers of music, photography and the human form. One need not be deeply versed in the Blues music to appreciate the beauty, strength and diversity of those who make it. With powerful imagery, as well as anecdotes and biographical information, BLUES HANDS tells a story of human experience.
In taking you through the journey of creating this body of work, and book, Joseph Rosen will impart lessons applicable to your own photography projects. Be inspired to turn your ideas into a body of work and even a gorgeous book.
