Miles Davis, by Jeff Sedlik Photograph

Miles Davis, 1989 by Jeff Sedlik. I made this portrait of Miles at his beach house in Malibu, California, in 1989. I prepared for this portrait session over a period of years, working through hundreds of concepts, creating dozens of sketches. Miles selected a number of my sketches, but this concept was his favorite. To make this photograph, I created a 20'x20' tent of black cloth on the patio behind his home. The image was made at noon, in bright sun, beneath a large sailcloth. Miles treated me with respect, and I photographed him on many occasions in his later years. My photograph is © 1989 Jeff Sedlik.
