The artistry of guitarist Dave Specter is very well known throughout Chicago and beyond as he has dedicated his life to the blues. This June, fans can experience a new aspect of Specter’s work as Delmark Records Gallery is currently showcasing an exhibit of his photography.
Beginning June 1 and running through Sept. 1, the exhibit will feature Specter’s photos of musicians, wildlife, urban scenes, and more.
Specter said in a statement, “I started out studying photography in high school and taking my SLR cameras to concerts when I was around 16. Fast forward to the smartphone age where the phone camera became my preferred choice for taking shots out of my pocket. In late 2022 I decided to step up my game and bought a new mirrorless camera and started shooting music, wildlife, architecture and street photography. I also shoot with older DSLRs and find the connection to playing music and photographing music to be quite different, yet similar…in capturing soulful moments from a new perspective. I’m also lucky to have a number of pro photographer friends who I’ve learned a lot from.”
Delmark Records Gallery is located at 4121 N. Rockwell in Chicago. More information can be found at Delmark.com.
