Perfect Pitch Images by Elaine Liu and Terry Duckham
F
or many years both Elaine Liu and Terry Duckham have been building up rich archives of images featuring Hong Kong’s diverse community of jazz musicians. Elaine, of course, is a musician as well as a photographer, and knows many of her subjects as occasional musical associates, or regular bandmates. Her studies of them reflect insights into their characters and creativity that derive from a shared passion – and from a surreal and humourous cast of mind. Terry is a serious fan of the music and his view is that of photographer as the reporter, capturing the players immersed in the process of spontaneous creation - Elaine included. Each has a unique perspective. Both convey the essence and energy of jazz, and each photographer’s fascination with the people who play it. Their subjects deserve no less.
