Trumpet Player Portraits in Bushwick, Brooklyn

Eric O'Donnell, a talented local jazz trumpet player, wanted to break away from traditional portraiture and capture his vibrant personality through some dynamic and visually interesting images. We spent an hour shooting in the colorful streets of Bushwick, where the urban backdrop perfectly complemented his vibrant style. During our session, we created a series of alternative portraits that showcased Eric with his instrument in a fresh light. The bold colors and unique angles reflected his artistic spirit and passion for music, resulting in images that truly stand out.
