Bill Frisell poses with a Collings Guitar

A couple weeks back Bill asked me to photograph him with his new Collings Guitar. It was a fun afternoon and I had Daniel Sheehan there helping with lighting. These are just a couple of the shots that we came up with.

very nice guitar, i'm sure sounds good too. And Bill is just gorgeous, very classy indeed. reminds me of Schopenhauer. i wonder if a author is a relative of Bill, or it is just a coincidence

He looks right at home with the plaid and stripes combo, what an adorable pup-- was he that doggie in "The Artist"?

I was reading the latest issue of Guitar Player Magazine just now, when that B/W photo of Bill with guitar & dog caught my eye.

Being a guitar player who is interested in photography and being married to a photographer (see www.siriknudsen.no), I immediately thought, 'wow!! who took this?'

I'm going to show this photo to my wife Siri as soon as I get home from work today because I know she'll agree that it's one of those photos you rarely see in ads; it looks naturally relaxed, not 'constructed' in any way. It has that special atmosphere to it.

I can almost here Bill's guitar tone coming from it.
And the dog by his feet, looking at him like that.... A really great portrait of a great musician. Well done!!

Best,

Trygve
