The Elegance of Time: Montreux Jazz Festival by Anoush Abrar

To mark its 60th edition, the Montreux Jazz Festival presents The Elegance of Time, a book showcasing over 150 portraits by Anoush Abrar. Amid the hustle and bustle of backstage at the Festival, Anoush Abrar often has only seconds to capture his portraits — a fleeting window he transforms into a timeless artistic gesture.
