IVEY Awards 2009

I went to the IVEY Awards last night to take a few photos for Minnesota Playlist and was pretty much limited to the red carpet. There were already several photographers shooting posed portraits, so I tried to get some different stuff. Here are a few of my favorites.

Deadline approaching for Twin Cities Unified Theatre Auditions

Whew! I’ve been busy shooting headshots the past few weeks and everyone has been coming in for the same reason: To get a fresh headshot for the Twin Cities Unified Theatre Auditions.

Actor friends, this is your friendly reminder that the deadline to get your application in for the Twin Cities Unified Theatre Auditions is February 16th.

If you need a new headshot to submit with your application, let me know. I can usually turn around the retouching and file delivery within 2 days.

Theater Rehearsal Photo Project

Over the past month I had the honor of being invited in to document the rehearsals of several Minneapolis theater companies. The goal was to produce a photo gallery showing the often unseen rehearsal process for Minnesota Playlist, an online performing arts magazine.

Below are a few photos, but you can check them all out here. You might even see a photo of yours truly at the bottom of the page.

Thanks to everyone who welcomed me in and gave unrestricted access to what is usually a fairly private process.
