Selected Photography
Lighting design is an art that requires extensive time, money, planning, collaboration, and man power no matter how any designer approaches it. I love the excitement that lighting design provides, especially once the show is in the space, but my love for photography stems from it being a solo endeavor at a personal pace. There are occasions that my photography has a purpose, a set amount of time and planning to it, there are times I jump in my car and head out to the desert to shoot whatever catches my eye.
Both media, lighting design and photography are like peanut butter and jelly for me; I ask the same questions:
- What do I see?
- What do others need to see? What do I want them to see?
- What is the feeling at this moment? How can my color, my angle, my approach support it?
The hustle that theatre naturally thrives on is put on hold when I have a camera in my hand; it’s a breath of fresh air, a chance to reexamine my aesthetic on my own terms. Documentation is as important for me as the experience itself.
