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.
