The Brecker Brothers, Glasgow, 1992
Randy and Michael Brecker just prior to a performance at the Old Fruitmarket one of Glasgow's atmospheric old venues.
As you can see they were very much in their own world's as I took these photographs in perhaps the least inconspicuous manner possible. i.e. Using a quite large, quite noisy Hasselblad camera on a monopod. By staying in the same position and using short telephoto lens I was able to work at a distance without disturbing the guys. Photographing first Michael then switching focus to Randy who is sat quietly reading a newspaper. - calm and collected, ready to play.
