Jared Richardson is not your average teenager. He plays two instruments, piano and trombone, and on July 31st, his piece Winds of Kananaskis was performed by the Victoria Symphony at the Symphony Splash.
Last month, I had the good fortune of photographing him playing his instruments, and since he got into the music programme at the University of Victoria this fall based on his trombone play, most of the photos were focused on that.
I met him at his house, where we took some photos of him playing the piano in his music room, and then we went to the chip trails which encircle the Juan de Fuca Rec Centre. There we found a nice resting spot, half shaded by trees. The sun was able to shine past the branches, creating pools of bright light on the ground. That made it a fantastic spot to play around with a flash and an umbrella.
