PERFORMANCE

THE CRITICAL ROLE OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN LIVE PERFORMANCE

Performance art is often experienced live, but what documents it and ensures its enduring life is, above all, photography. Performers know that performing for a live audience is vastly different than performing for a camera. Audiences are often drawn to the unique and fleeting nature of a live performance. The live performance photographer must understand the relationship unfolding between the performer and the audience, and then capture the best moments as a third party observer. Decades of experience in not only observing this delicate balance transpire, but actively pursuing it is what you see in my photographs.
