April is Jazz Appreciation Month; both Jazz and Blues originated in the deep south around the end of the 19th century. Bobby Roebuck primarily is a Jazz Photographer, with a unique artistic vision. He is a creative photographer striving to capture the essence of the moments to be etched in memories for a lifetime. Bobby taps into his natural talent as a visual artist and utilizes his ability to manipulate light to bring out the true beauty in his subject matter. He shoots jazz concerts and is always fascinated with the dynamic musicians’ ability to bring sweet melodies to the listener ’s ears. Bobby becomes energized along the photographer ’s pit as he catches each expression of the performers and maneuvers in the right position to secure the unbelievable expressions demonstrated in each face.
