Working with the awesome team at Jobsite Theater I was able to photograph the portraits of their cast of Romeo & Juliet. Jobsite brought an 80’s theme to their interpretation of this classic. With that in mind I light and posed the actors as if it were 1980’s Olan Mills portrait session, but influenced by John Hugh‘s directorial styles as well as Tak Fujimoto and Bobby Byrne‘s cinematography styles.
Centerbill is the monthly magazine / playbill for The Straz Center for Preforming Arts in Tampa, Florida. They used one of my portraits from Shockheaded Pete cast shoot for their cover this month!
“I was blown away by the production photos. The images were thrilling – in your face, subversive, and more than a touch frightening. In other words, a perfect match for the material.” – JPC link
I’m really excited to announce a photoshoot! This is going to be a themed shoot using colored lighting and smoke machines.
If you haven’t seen my aerial photography portrait work before, check out a few of my favorite photos that I’ve made on my portfolio page.
Its going to be held Sunday Oct 10th at Aerial Dragons Studios in Tampa. Individual sessions are available starting at 11:00am (more sessions will be added based on interest).
Each session is 15 minutes for $165 $150 (early signup pricing! it increases on 10/1)
These photos are from “final dress” rehearsal. With this level of access I was able to get some incredibly unique perspectives of the show that normally wouldn’t be possible during a theatrical event because of the disruption that it would cause.
Shockheaded Peter is based on Heinrich Hoffman’s 1845 children’s book, Der Struwwelpeter. Think of it as a macabre version of Grimm’s Fairy Tales. A bizarre series of short “cautionary” … umm children’s(?) stories.

This was an opportunity to not only work with some fantastically talented actors, but also to create a unique dreamlike look with strangely distorted perspectives using techniques that I normally wouldn’t choose to use in portrait photography.
