Musical portraits ©jimallen
Legends abound, as I have been so privileged to photograph a few of the worlds leading musicians and singers, authors , and many kinds of artists. Musicians are now a breed unto themselves as recording contracts are left in the dust. One needs to be known as a diva or a Michael Jackson to get the bigger more lucrative contracts. The rest is like the song" Hit the road Jack..

Jim is a very creative photographer and artist. I have always been impressed with his ability to coax the absolute best out of a camera, pen or paintbrush. Portrait subjects are always thrilled with the results of his patient, kind, yet revealing, work.

"Jim Allen is one of the nicest guys I know. But he didn't ask me to comment on his niceness, but on his talents which are immense. i have always admired his photography and i believe he is one of the continent's most important documentarians of life in its its finest and worst moments. His spontaneous captures move us and render insights into the human condition, which we might not otherwise see."
