Welcome!

As a jazz photographer immersed in the rhythmic tapestry of this timeless genre for 47 years, I find in Gregory Rivkin a muse whose music transcends mere notes, resonating with the very soul of jazz itself. His trumpet sings tales of passion and prowess, weaving melodies that speak volumes beyond words.
Over the last two decades, my journey in jazz photography has been a quest to capture the essence of these moments—the raw emotion, the improvisational genius—through the lens of my camera. Rivkin’s artistry is a beacon, guiding me to new heights of expression and storytelling in visual form.
What sets Gregory Rivkin apart is not just his technical mastery, but the world-class consistency he projects in every performance—a level of precision that statistics would equate to approximately 1 out of 500 musicians. This exceptional standard makes each photograph a testament to his dedication and the enduring power of jazz as an art form.
Through my lens, I aim to freeze these fleeting moments of brilliance, offering viewers a glimpse into the soul-stirring world of Rivkin’s music and the timeless allure of jazz.
Representing Gregory Rivkin through photography is not just capturing a moment in time but celebrating a legacy that resonates with passion, excellence, and the profound impact of musical genius on the human spirit.
