Resonators
Resonators- a collection of portraits of guitar icons and their guitars - shot by Scarlet Page to be released this December
Resonators is a personal project by the internationally acclaimed rock photographer Scarlet Page. A collection of extraordinary portraits of some of the world’s greatest guitar heroes all selected, shot and edited by Scarlet, the images have been collected together here in a book for the first time. To coincide with the book launch an exhibition of all the images will be held at Proud Camden in London from November 26th – December 6th. The Resonators are:
Albert Lee, Billy Corgan, Brian May, Chrissie Hynde, Def Leppard, Dick Taylor (Stones), Graham Coxon, Hank Marvin, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Joe Walsh, John Frusciante, Johnny Marr, Justin Hawkins, Kelly Jones, Mark Knopfler, Mick Jones, Nile Rodgers, Noel Gallagher, Paul McCartney, Paul Stanley, Paul Weller, Peter Green, Phil Manzanera, Robert Fripp, Serge, Slash, Steve Jones, John Squire, Wayne Kramer, Wilko Johnson. The product of Scarlet’s two year global quest to photograph the greatest guitar players, Resonators has been self funded via a successful Kickstarter campaign. A percentage of the profits will be donated to Teenage Cancer Trust. All Resonators artwork has been designed by Warren Jackson, with additional wording from novelist Ben Myers. Explaining why she is fascinated by the person behind the guitar and why she wanted to capture them, Scarlet says; “Ultimately … they are just instruments; a guitar is always a guitar, but the human face is constantly changing and it is people that I’m really interested in.”
She continues; ‘The response from everyone has been overwhelming, and the demand for a book has been so high that we knew we had to get it published. I’ve never had my own book published before so it became very personal. As a photographer I’ve had my work published in many other books, and photographed artists for their own books, but this is something really special.”
