Howlin' Wind stands out

By | | comments |

Photography is all about light and how to use it to great effect.

Silhouetted in an inner-city doorway in Melbourne in the mid-'80s, this photo of world-renowned flautist and composer Andrew "Howlin' Wind" Richardson boldly highlights a flute in the hands of its master.

**This photograph is part of an IA series that looks at Australia through the lens of award-winning photojournalist Bill McAuley.**
