Swedish blues lover Hans Ekestang spent some fifty years of his life as a professional photographer hunting for those magic blues shots, and over the years, he met most of the famous blues and R&B artists from the last century. By always treating them with respect, Ekestang made the blues & soul legends feel relaxed, meanwhile he achieved just the right atmosphere he was looking for. Ekestang had his first photo published in 1971 in Swedish blues magazine Jefferson, today the longest running blues magazine in the world. He is still active and holds regular exhibitions with his blues photos. Many of them today considered art in their own right.
