Q&A with photographer Eric Antoniou has two passions in life: music and photography - Those dual loves are chronicled in his new book “Rock to Baroque: Four Decades of Music Photography”

Technique is the means to an end. You have to know the technical aspects in order to create a photograph. If your technique is poor the photograph will suffer. It’s the same with other art forms. The photo has to have soul otherwise it would be an empty image.”

Blues breaks barriers. It brings together people from every walk of life. If you love the blues, you love each other—because the blues speaks to something universal. Its impact is personal. It doesn’t shout—it whispers to the soul. If it brings peace to a troubled mind, then it’s done its job.”…

Most people forget that blues and early rock ‘n roll are the backbone of almost all popular music today. Looking further back, swing and jazz played a part in the development of early rock ‘n roll.

The role of music in today's society is fundamental. It's not just entertainment but a powerful tool for personal expression, for bringing people together, for communicating. Furthermore, as I've already mentioned, music—good music—instills in people an aesthetic sense, a critical sense, an artistic sensibility, a sense of humanity, which are then reflected in social life.”…
