This one made my heart stop for a moment. How incredibly powerful Jean. An absolute favourite for sure!

This is an awesome capture.. one man and his instrument in perfect union!

Very nice shot indeed. Very strict composition and excellent evolvment of the lightflare over the shadows into the highlighted player.

Amazing! You just give a new beauty sense in Black and White photography.

Powerful Jean….bravo!

Magnificent shot Jean… Love the lighting.. Looks great in b&w!

Oh very nice shot, love the light and the empty space.

Simply stunning, this image is amazing :) What sort of lense did you use for this?

this is so cool love the placement of the musician against the dark background. this is album cover material

Still a class act Jean. Brilliant!

This is outstanding work Jean! very moody!

the whole series of music and dance is just amazing…many congrats !!

this shot is insane and outstanding man!!! wow great work!!!

What a piece of art !!! Amazingly composed !!!

Classic composition. I imagine hard work getting a shot off in the dark with no flash while he’s moving about too! You did a great job sir!

very cool.

wonderful composition!!

Wonderful composition and interplay of light and artist. congratulations you’ve been featured in Light and Reflection

Excellent work, Jean, congratulations on your feature!

Great shot!

Brilliant! A spectacular shot by a photographer that truly understands tonal contrast and the power of balance in an image. The implied diagonal line between the musician completes a perfect triangle in composition, the light captured is superb, the vertical display truly enhances the musician’s space and puts us, the viewer right there in the audience. Bravo, M. Laffitau, une image extraordinaire!

Stunning. Your photography of musicians is brilliant.

This one reminds me of the poster – art for the film “BIRD”

Lovely composition!
