In the Shadow of Leaves

Randolph Matthews & Byron Johnston

Randolph Matthews is a vocal artist who blends Neo/Afro folk with vocal percussion, while Byron Johnston is a flamenco fusion guitarist known for his distinctive approach to guitar performance. In the Shadow of Leaves merges guitar styles of the Mediterranean with melodies of new African styles, resulting in a contemporary world music collaboration.

The concept of the tree and the artists in silhouette was their request, but I had creative freedom in shaping the overall design. I incorporated earthy tones and textures to reflect the feel of their music, adding a hand-drawn tree in selected areas for added detail. I also edited the photos to align with the colour palette of the entire piece.
