When Mumbaikar Verus Ferreira started covering music as a journalist in the early 90s in the city, little did the Bandra resident know he would fall head over heels for music photography. At a time when owning a camera was a luxury, Ferreira armed himself with a keen eye and a point-and-shoot camera only so that he could capture musicians and singers at music concerts in Mumbai. It stemmed from his love for music since he was a young child. 

Even though the 50-something veteran journalist had the opportunity to click only 24 photographs at the time, he did it will full zest. It is one that resembles the enthusiasm of young child discovering something new for the very first time. For Ferreira, clicking these photographs was like falling in love with music like it was his first introduction to the art form every time he attended a music concert. This very passion can be seen even today, every time you spot him at music concerts. Quickly whipping out his camera, he dodges attendees – young and old – to get the perfect shot before it goes away.
