Welcome to the photographic world of Marc Sabatella! I do not claim to be a professional, but I do take pictures seriously. My interest in photography sprang from my involvement in art. I need to shoot pictures of my paintings, and I like to be able to take reference photos of the scenes I paint. I am also a professional musician, and I enjoy shooting concerts as well as being able to create my own publicity photographs. I bought my first digital camera for these purposes a few years ago, and I eventually came to discover I enjoyed photography for its own sake enough to want to upgrade to more sophisticated gear. I currently use a Pentax K200D, which is a digital SLR (single lens reflex), and a selection of different lenses.
An ongoing
project
of mine is to
photograph as many local (Colorado) jazz musicians as I can - and to
keep doing
this until I have the best shots I can get of as many musicians as I
can. Click the photo at left to see this collection as it
stands.
I have also taken a number of pictures of more internationally known jazz musicians. Click the photo at right to view this collection.
I like my photographs to look natural - to say something about the world as it is. When photographing people, I prefer candid shots over posed ones. When shooting indoors or at night, I tend to favor natural or ambient light over flash, although this can be a challenge. Ironically, although most of my paintings are landscapes and cityscapes, the photographs that bring me the most joy usually feature people. I suppose I see painting and photography as essentially different tools, but I think my concern for composition and color is common to both.
