Colin Finlay: Taking Note
The Southeast Museum of Photography, in partnership with Atlantic Center for the Arts, is presenting Taking Note, an exhibition of photographic works paired with written reflections and ephemera by renowned photojournalist Colin Finlay. Taking Note features more than 30 photographs of musicians, including Grammy-award-winning singer-songwriters and producers.
The exhibit is on view in the Master Artist Gallery at The Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach now through February 3, 2024.
Highlights of the exhibit include portraits of recording artists Aimee Mann, Beck, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Perry and Nile Rodgers, and record producers Rick Rubin, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart. This elite cast was assembled as part of a documentary project started by George Martin, the legendary producer of The Beatles. Titled Soundbreaking: Stories from the Cutting Edge of Recorded Music, it became an eight-part, in-depth look at the evolving art of music recording.
For Finlay, photographing the artists was the opportunity of a lifetime. Often having to wait until the end of lengthy studio sessions, he absorbed the sights and sounds, reflecting on his own musical journey, which began as a young man performing as lead singer and rhythm guitarist in a garage cover band.
