Part of the fun of taking the photography for the theatre is goofing around with the cast and crew who, let’s admit it, can be downright silly. I learned early on how well it can work during head shots to have them make silly faces so I can get a real smile out of them afterwards. Then I started doing it in their group shots- more for my entertainment than theirs. Sometimes I’m laughing so much, it’s hard for me to hold my hands steady so I can take the picture! But I love taking the silly shots, especially when they do it on their own like Heather when I was photographing her as Eliza or Slade who does silly so easily and who is a joy to photograph (he was the Cat in the Hat in Seussical), and usually in the dressing room, I turn over the camera and join right it. I hope these make you laugh and smile, they sure bring up giggles in me! (By the way, you can always click on one of my photographs to bring up a larger version.)
