By Jen...
When I trepidatiously decided to leave the corporate record label world behind and start Art Duet, one of the first people to reach out to work with me was Janette Beckman. Her support was a part of the "I can do this" mantra that I told myself. Janette had shot a few bands during my time in the Art department and we developed a natural friendship...let's call it 'love at first phone call'. Being SUCH a big Janette fan, I was BEYOND flattered by the opportunity to work with her in another capacity. Her work strikes such a major chord with me...

My first event was a book signing for Janette's book 'The Breaks' at Taschen in March of 2008. It was a wonderful evening, and I felt so proud that I could deliver a night that she deserved. For all of the above reasons and because of her endless faith and support, Janette is quite special to me & to Art Duet as it evolves. She's high on my list of seriously cool people one could ever meet...

She was recently ranked fifth on
Flavorwire's '10 Rock Photographers You Should Know' list. Might we add, she was the first female on the list!

Given her long career shooting truly fascinating people, places, and events, Janette has THE best stories. From Slick Rick to the Sex Pistols, Paul Weller to Ice Cube, you never know what Janette will talk about next. It's never a boring conversation, that's for damn sure...As such, she just started a blog which everyone will definitely enjoy. If you love music, trends, and iconic stories, follow her blog here:
