Photo Direction

How to shoot this aesthetic

"The ephemeral made permanent the performance that lives only in the photograph"

Shot list

  • Wide stage shot during rehearsal with a single performer in a pool of work light, all else dark
  • Close portrait of a performer in makeup, between scenes, the character still present in their eyes
  • Action shot with significant motion blur on extremities, the face relatively sharp blur is energy here

Lighting

Available stage lighting is the brief work with what the lighting designer has set for the show; add supplementary sources only from positions that a theatre light could plausibly occupy
