Their Love of Music

Photography by Stephen Azzato
Foreword by Lester Holt, Newcaster & Musician

In Their Love of Music photographer Steve Azzato has captured the essence of the creative spirit in the faces and words of the musicians themselves. Featuring portraits of 117 artists, the book takes a slightly different approach to music photography than typically seen. “The beauty of this project for me was being able to sit with a huge range of musicians and explore what drew them to their art”, says Azzato. “I was able to hear it in their voices and record it visually in their images”. In the simple quiet of a green room, without the crowds or bandmates or tour managers, Azzato’s photographs transcend the chaos of the stage and the intensity of the studio to reveal the inner spirit that drives each of his subjects.

About the Great Smoky Mountains Book

“This is the finest coffee table book we've ever seen on the Great Smokies! Park employees are buying it as gifts.”

-Curt,
Great Smoky Mountains N.P.

“I took some peaceful...thoughtful time with your book. Beyond the exquisite technical execution there is a profoundly sensitive eye... that is quite revealing of your self... and at the same time revealing you as a natural extension of the observation. To be able to reveal yourself to the world through the visual poetry of your craft is a beautiful and dare I say rare gift. I was...awed. ”

-Jenni,
Barnes & Noble

About the Lewis & Clark Book

-Tom Dickson,
Editor, Montana Outdoors Magazine

“The Lewis & Clark Trail American Landscapes is a 256-page full color slab of a book. It’s a rapturous representation of the American landscape, seen both in the grand wide-angle vistas and in the surfaces of wildflowers and water. It's a book that John Muir would've liked.”
