Keigwin Gets "Dark"

Keigwin + Company is going full out for their upcoming Joyce Season.  After several years of successful rep runs, the group with amp it up with an evening-length work, Dark Habits, from March 8-13.  And even though the season doesn't being for another couple of months, that doesn't mean the planning isn't long underway...including a promo shoot that I had the pleasure of working on. 

These are some of my favorite dancers to collaborate with, and this shoot (done in a dark, deserted bar in the East Village) was no exception.  Be sure to pick up your tickets for their upcoming season!

(Dancers: Liz Riga, Kristina Hanna, Matthew Baker, Aaron Carr, Gary Schaufeld, Ashley Browne)

 

It's "BLOODY" Broadway! Pt. 1

This past October I had the chance to shoot my first Broadway show: the wonderful, twisted musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, written by Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman.  After playing the Public last summer, BBAJ sat down at the Jacob's Theater, where it ran until Jan. 2nd.  Now I'd like to share some shots!

A BIT ABOUT THIS PHOTO: Nearly every photographer--or anyone who's ever picked up a camera, for that matter--has taken a picture of the reflection in someone's sunglasses.  It's impossible to resist: those giant lenses contorting what the eye sees and spitting it back out in all its metallic glory.  About a year ago I promised myself I wouldn't take another one of those shots, no matter how tempting.  However, I had to break my rule when I was walking to a photo shoot and saw this staring up from the pavement.

Dance in 2010

Over the past few weeks I've been going through my photo library and organizing my files (an unenviable task if there ever was one).  Here are a few photos I shot of Dance in 2010 that jumped out at me.

TAPPY NEW YEAR!

I may be biased, but this is one of my favorite pieces of tap dancing I've seen.  A special New Year's treat danced by my incredible sister and the equally incredible Nicholas Young.
