  • I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Strandberg Guitars, making this instrument inspired by my black and white photography. I picked up the guitar at a young age. It has been a life long dedication and passion. Before my photography career I used to work in the music industry composing music for films and television,. I met Ola Strandberg (lutheir, founder of Standberg Guitars and keen photographer!) on one of my Leica Workshops, and we soon got into conversations about designing a guitar together. You can find out more and hear the guitar in this video.
    Thanks to Ola, Brenda Ty (keys), and everyone at Strandberg.

    Wow, this video blew me away. My wife heard me playing this video and came to see who it was as she was involved in the London music business in the 1960's and heard lots of good and some so so. She was one of the first hand models in London and was shot by all the famous photographers of the day. Such a talent you are in both pursuits. Thanks for this video.

    Well, I didn’t have Alan Schaller shreds on my Thursday bingo card, but this was a pleasant surprise. Looks like a very cool guitar. And nice playing, of course.

    This is just amazing, Alan you are the second photographer of my acquaintance, (using that term loosely in your case) who has revealed an uncommon musical talent this week. I am blown away by this!

  • @donjagoe
    @donjagoe 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    So many photographers of note also were musicians. How did I not know this about you. Spectacular sound and a lovely, lovely instrument. Bravo!

  • @EnContra808
    @EnContra808 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Now it's clear why you're such a talented photographer.
    Music provides you with the analytical thinking and the necessary tools to view life from another perspective, more abstract, so to speak, while also teaching you the importance of always being structured and following patterns; without that, there is no music.

    • @FotomakerAcademy
      @FotomakerAcademy 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, all that and rhythm. Which I think makes for successful visual stories.

  • @Mindartcreativity
    @Mindartcreativity 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Alan, I could watch and listen to your playing all day long just as much as I could look at your photographs. Incredible skill backed by incredible hard work.
    I‘m also a guitar player and got into photography some years ago. Pursuing music/guitar and photography just go so well together.

  • @lensman5762
    @lensman5762 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    We know your passion is black + white but PLEASE incorporate some of your guitar work into your videos.
    That melody, sound and rhythm from the Strandberg is absolutely sublime. Treat us disciples.

    You know, when I visited the exhibition at Leica in Wetzlar with Andrew Summers' photographs, my first thought was, why are some people blessed with so many talents? And now you're coming around the corner with this video. My talent is limited, but I'm passionate about it. A small consolation. Great video. Thanks for your inspiration.

  • @fordfanjpn
    @fordfanjpn 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    You are absolutely my favorite contemporary photographer and a huge influence. I’m also a guitarist and have been interested in Strandberg for a while, but a P90 version with two volumes and a master tone would be ideal. Thanks for the inspiration, in both worlds.

    • @alan_schaller
      @alan_schaller  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That’s great to hear thank you. The P90s and ash body sound really sweet together

    Congratulations. The guitar sounds great, as does the player. Amazing how many photographers play guitar, or is it guitarists who are serious photographers? Ralph Gibson, Andy Summers, I believe Alec Soth plays, Ted Forbes, yours truly. I often see guitars in the background of TH-camr videos. Interesting.

  • @sevemiller

I've followed your photography for a few years...saw your first TH-cam interview on someone else's channel. I thought, some of his photos are surreal. Keep the fingers oiled-up...you need them for your camera and guitar! Cheers!

And now finding out your passion for Strandbergs just tops that. I have 4 already. If I can find this one to purchase, it will be my fifth.

    @glennkaufman7228 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Alan, glad you shared a music vid with us. The Strandberg sounds lovely and I love the design (I've played Strat's for years). After reading about your "first" career in the music biz it was cool to see you in action. This video was quite candid and natural compared to the photo series (i.e., no acting). I hope that you'll do more pure music videos going forward, and of course, any time there is new photography I am very excited. My dad was Frank Sinatra's sax player, and he loved photography. We had many discussions growing up about how the two arts are intertwined. I wish he was alive to see your work. He would have loved the musicality, and rhythm of your images

    Hi Alan, Andrew here in Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦, originally from the uk. 2 things I want to say to you, 1st your photography is awesome and inspires me immensely and I love the teaching element in the TH-cam videos, thank you. 2nd, this video and your guitar work was equally awesome. Thank you for sharing and if you put together an album I will be buying it😀
    Thank you
    Cheers
