Cassy and The Bossa Beats - 1

Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 8 July 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

This is the start of a new series, taken on Sunday 29th of June this year in Sydney's Rocks Square.

Here are some song clips of Cassandra Darvall and her group.

The first song on the list, Brigas nunca mais is th one she was singing when I arrived that day. You might like to play it while you look at the photo...

Please see my photojournal on my website, where I am now posting:

Back to concert photography? This is what you were showing us when I first discovered your blog and it made me come back every day. I really like those shots...

Lovely portrait and really enhanced by her fabulous music, thanks for including it, I loved it...She reminds me a bit of Diana Krall (jazz singer)

Very nice capture of these two. As a singer I can identify with the necessity of that bottle of water. I can also identify a pair that loves what they're doing from the pleasant expression on their faces. Nice one.

@sherri: Thank you, Sherri. The water bottle is prominent, but I just had to accept that, as you see. I've mentioned it in my reply to DJ's reference to it, below. He and I had a funny exchange over one particular water bottle that gave me a bit of frustration in a previous performance shot.

Great composition, all the vertical lines work really well.

Like your composition here, Andrew ... and the pleasing looks on the two musicians makes for a great candid portrait.

great composition mate -- i am sure you were simply 'fuming' about that water bottle! :)

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks, DJ -- and guess what... I was thinking of you when I was processing and uploading this, because of our exchange over the water bottles in the last series of concert shots I posted! Is it just here, then? Or is there always one of these bottles prominently displayed on stage in the USA, too???
