A musician expresses himself through his instrument, the music played is then the expression of the musician, of his emotions, of his feelings... of all that he is.
The music is in fact the reflection of his being, of his person.
What could be more normal at this moment to realize a photograph in which the musician reflects himself on his instrument...
