Question 1

What to you photograph backstage of a performance?

Accepted Answer

For a full performance of a stage show your backstage gallery would include images of : Makeup and hair in the dressing room ( I LOVE a mirror shot), hanging out in green rooms or other backstage areas, photos from the wings of the action onstage and off. And anything else that goes on. Do you warm up the company on stage before getting ready? Let me know and I’ll ensure that’s documented.

Question 2

Why document rehearsals?

Accepted Answer

Social media for one. Rehearsals are great content to promote your company. This is also the space where people are usually most relaxed and adding giggles and fun to the process. So the candid shots from these type situations is always fun. It also documents an important step in what you do!

Question 3

How many days do you suggest for a stage show?

Accepted Answer

This is completely up to you and your needs! If you are looking to document the full process. I have been involved with productions from initial meet and greets and first read throughs to rehearsals, sitz probe, tech and dress rehearsal then final performance. And variations of the above. Sometimes I’m there a day, others I’m in and out for the whole process.

Question 4

How do you make sure you aren’t in the way backstage?

Accepted Answer

Good question. I come to backstage shoots dressed in blacks and dance sneakers. My cameras are set to silent mode and I talk to the team both creative, backstage and often performers too about areas that are busy and where in the show that happens. I have been backstage in one way or another since I was 5 so know how to stay out of the way while still getting the shot.
