Nashville Jazz Workshop Presents: The Solo Art Exhibition of Heather Brand & an All-Star Jazz Performance!

Join Nashville jazz greats Lori Mechem, Roger Spencer, Marcus Finnie, Roy Agee, Monica Ramey and the legendary Beegie Adair for the celebration and premiere of their dear friend & photographer Heather Brand’s highly-acclaimed Solo Photography Exhibition at the Nashville Jazz Workshop on April 9th from 5:30-7:30pm.

This Nashville-based photographer and former student of the Speos Institute of Photography in Paris is best known for her portraits of political figures, musicians and everyday people, all of which have been featured regularly in magazines, fashion and advertising. Many of Brand’s portraits of political figures have become signature images. Brand served as the official photographer for John McCain during his 2008 presidential election.

Like portrait photographer Arnold Newman, Brand has become well known for combining the esthetics of a person’s environment and personality into a single moment of inspiration. Her fine art work was selected for exhibition at the Salon d’art contemporain de Museum National D’Histoire Naturelle and her series “Regard a la Loupe”, meaning “through the magnifying lens”, featured tightly cropped portraits was seen in venues throughout Paris. Additionally, her work has been featured in publications worldwide including, Glamour, Paris Match, and Vogue.

This special event is free and open to the public. Framed art, collector prints and books will be available for purchase and signing. For more information, visit http://www.heatherbrand.com or call
