Bass journeys
Fine art bass guitar photography
Welcome to Bass Journeys, a visual exploration of the bass guitar as a adventurer in the wild. This project captures iconic bass guitars in extraordinary locations, blending the craftsmanship of wood and strings with urban landscapes and natural beauty. From the industrial grit of brickworks to the vintage elegance of rare car collections, these are the visual narratives of the low-end. Are you curious on the story behind this madness?
Classic basses & vintage cars: The Strøjer Collection
Where do you take two basses designed by an American automobile designer? Only one true answer to that; The Strøjer Car Collection.
Vinyl & low-end: Bass photography at the Record Store
Each shot aims to capture not just the instrument, but the spirit of music that surrounds it. You can almost hear the music and taste the coffee.
Basses in Fields of Gold: Rapeseed landscape photography
Inspired by the photo/blogger phenomenon, where the warm countryside and rapeseed fields in full bloom seems to attract everyone.
The Orchard Basement: Where the visual journey began
Where it all started and the conceptual framework for this extraordinaire experience was conceived. The session that went to be first of many.
These journeys capture the essence of the low-end, not just as an instrument, but as a protagonist in its own right, set against a backdrop of breathtaking scenes. Each episode is a symphony of images, a dance between the crafted wood and strings of the bass and the natural or urban landscapes it inhabits. It’s a celebration of the bass guitar, elevating it from a mere musical tool to a source of visual poetry, creating moments that rumble with the soul of every bass enthusiast.
“The Bass Journeys project combines outdoor guitar photography, urban exploration, and instrument portraits. Each session is shot on location to showcase the relationship between music and environment.” Henrik Bonde Hanfgarn, Passionate keeper of the bass vault and bass escapade extraordinaire.
