In that year I have come to know that this lady is not only one of the most amazing Jazz singers this state has seen but she is as equally an amazing person. I am also happy to say that over this past year Tracey went from being a stranger to a client and then to someone I call my friend.
Also in that year I was taking images, editing images, listening to Tracey sing and tell me about herself as a person, her journey to this point in her life. I knew that the image for the cover of her CD needed to show the passion she has for her talent, the emotion she adds from someplace deep within, and it need to be as colorful and fun (and REAL) as she is.
So I did what I do with everyone that comes into my studio...I shot and I shot and we talked and I shot some more and we talked again...then I took what we had shot, listened to Tracey and what she liked and didn't like, what she wanted to portray to her audience, and imagined myself in the cd store looking through cds (ok so that part was unique to this session) and what I would I need to see to know all of that.
Tracey and I met several times and I showed her my vision with the help of Photoshop and viola! Not only has Tracey used this image as her cover but some of these others may be found inside and on the back.
She sings often at the Solo Bistro in Bath, stop in and check her out! If you are interested in her cd you can find it at the Brunswick Borders or by going to http://www.traceymaclean.com/
I hope to have her music playing on my website soon...so you can get a little taste that way.
Thanks Tracey for allowing me to be a part of such an exciting step in your career.
