IVEY Awards 2009
Posted by Craig | Filed under photos, theater
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.

Sally J delivers the goods!
Posted by Craig | Filed under lighting, photos, studio
A couple of months ago I did an all day shoot for local singer Sally J and today she stopped by my studio with a copy of her new CD! I dig what her designer did with my photos and think her recording sounds great.
The week before doing this shoot I watched Zack Arias’ One Light dvd and thought this was the perfect excuse to do most of my shooting with a single strobe.
The first two shots were done with a Canon 580 EX II, bounced into a silver umbrella. I tried an Elinchrom strobe, but it was just way too powerful for what I wanted.
The following two shots were done with a Ray Flash, which I bought specifically for this shoot because the local rental place didn’t have a ring flash available. Wish I would’ve thought to call Flashlight. I’m sure they could have hooked me up.
Let me know what you think. I’m pretty happy with the results.

Theater Rehearsal Photo Project
Posted by Craig | Filed under photography, theater
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.
