David Gahr, who has died aged 85 at his home in Brooklyn, New York, was a photographer loved as much for himself as for the immediacy of his sometimes iconic work. Gahr's subject was people; more than people, musicians; and more than musicians, folk singers, jazz players and rock stars, performers who needed an audience and interaction, something that Gahr picked up and passed on. He photographed for the love of it - jettisoning a safe career as an economic journalist in order to do so - and two generations of music-lovers had their images made by him.
