Frank Stewart is the Senior Staff Photographer for Jazz at Lincoln Center. He grew up in both Memphis and Chicago, attending the Art Institute of Chicago before receiving a B.F.A. in photography from the Cooper Union in New York. Stewart was greatly influenced by Roy DeCarava's photographs, and said that DeCarava 'taught a whole philosophy about how to approach a subject honestly and tell the truth.'
Stewart's photograph of Wynton Marsalis and Wycliff Gordon depict the two jazz musicians veiled by shadows, set against the theater's scrim as they await their cue.
Stewart's photographs have appeared in Sweet Swing Blues on the Road by Wynton Marsalis, as well as Romare Bearden: The Last Years. His photographs can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, the Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York, and George Eastman House, Rochester, NY.
