After photographing the EIU Dancers for workmate/dance coach Antoine Thomas he was asked to shoot some photos of the dancers from the DanceLife Center in their performance of Peter Pan. This brought back some serious nostalgia for me since I was an extra in a Peter Pan production that my sister was in when we were kids for which my Dad built an awesome ship out of cardboard that was a pretty big hit from what I remember.
Anyway, this gig is a little different than usual. Rather than an upfront cost, my commission is coming in the form of print sales, hence the watermarks. So, we'll see how that goes.
The performance was on the same stage as the EIU Dancers; I was surprised and impressed with how professional the whole production came together especially for there being such a range of expertise and age groups.
I also did some lit photos of everyone in the troupe.
The trip down memory lane didn't end with me filling in as an extra, but also sparked some memories of going to see 'Hook' with my Papa Charlie at the theater. I can remember running around the parking lot trying to fly after the movie.
