Two actors on stage, one man and one woman, sit on a circular platform with scattered papers. The woman, with blonde hair and wearing a colorful sleeveless top, is reaching out with her right arm holding papers, while the man, with dark hair and a beard wearing a red checkered shirt, looks on.

Performance Photography

A woman in vintage clothing and a chef in a white uniform and hat are engaged in a serious conversation in a restaurant or greenhouse setting.
A woman in a red and white patterned dress stands on a stage with a microphone, gesturing with her hand. A banner in the background displays the text "The Moth" and "True Stories Told Live," along with the Michigan Radio logo and station frequencies.

Capturing the authentic energy and emotion of live theater requires more than technical skill—it demands an artist who understands the rhythm of performance itself. My theatrical performance photography is conducted during live dress rehearsals, allowing me to capture the raw energy and spirit of live theatre as it naturally unfolds, without the distractions of audience or performance pressure.

Unlike photographers who rely on staged promotional shots or static marketing images, I specialize in documenting the genuine moments of dramatic tension and artistic expression that define great theater. I bring both the technical expertise to excel in challenging low-light conditions and the theatrical insight to anticipate the decisive moments that tell your production's story.

With an established portfolio spanning prestigious venues from the Purple Rose Theatre Company to University of Michigan's Educational Theatre Company and Meadow Brook Theatre, I understand what makes each production unique. My approach delivers images within 36 hours, ensuring you have compelling promotional material ready for opening night.
