Ester Segarra's antology "Ars Umbra" just came out on July 6th on Season of Mist, and the label has published a video where the photographer discusses her approach to music photography as well as several of the locations she has visited through the years to photograph many famous musicians of extreme metal and rock music .
The video includes part of the soundtrack created specifically for this book :
"Understanding the umbilical link between visual art and music, Ester commissioned a soundtrack to accompany the book. Inspired by a Macumba ritual she attended, the instrumental soundtrack was written and performed by Uno Bruniusson (ex-In Solitude, Death Alley, Procession); it provides a unique rhythm and adds another layer of artistry to the whole Ars Umbra experience."
"Ars Umbra" is a massive 220-page antology which contains over 150 photographs, spanning over 100 bands, with accompanying texts written by the featured musicians, detailing the stories behind many of the pictures. It is available on Season of Mist, you can follow Ester Segarra's work on her official Facebook page.
