It was so great meeting Steve at his NOLA gallery - seeing his work, and hearing so many great stories about his experiences as a photographer was a highlight for us. For NOLA trad jazz fans, all our favs are there, to take home with you to remember your trip to the land of Jazz, Beignets and Chicory coffee! We’ll be back on our next trip!

The people of New Orleans have long missed their beloved Herman Leonard- legendary jazz photographer and recorder of the NOLA music scene. Now with the recent arrival of Steve Rapport this vibrant city has a brilliant new transplant and legend photographer of the UK music scene, and to capture its artists "in performance", in this historic, ever expanding, and thrillingly authentic musical city. Long may he remain, and produce these modern day classics, that hark back to the 40's/50's jazz heydays of Leonard and his smokey club masterpieces! Judith Owen

While getting married in New Orleans , we saw this amazing gallery filled with iconic photos of many famed rock musicians. When we went in Steve was nothing short of amazing! Telling us story after story about the shots and the photo shoots he had with some of our ally One favorite bands and musicians. Steve spent over an hour talking to us before we decided on the Amazing iconic photo of Iron Maiden we purchased that he took at the legendary Reading festival. Such a n amazing addition to our record room, and now thanks to Steve a story piece as well when visitors come by asking about it. If you get a chance to visit Steves gallery or you are in New Orleans even for a day, make time to check t out, you will be glad you did! Thanks Steve for the amazing shot and stories you told us! We will be sure to pop in whenever we are in NOLA. Brad and Stephanie

I thoroughly enjoyed the gallery and the piece I purchased, meeting Steve and colleague was wonderful and I stopped in two days while in New Orleans. Thursday 10.13.22 I saw my dear friend Marty Sammon's (Chicago native & Buddy Guy's keyboard player for 19 yrs) stellar performance at the Maple Leaf. MY friend and I sat at the bar and caught some great pics & videos, so wish you Steve could have been there. Friday 10.14.22 was his 45th BD. Saturday 10.15.22 he was found dead in his hotel room in New Orleans, cause of death remains undetermined. He was a beautiful man, loved by many. Needless to say his death has been gut-wrenching and heartbreaking. One thing for certain he died doing what he truly loved.
