High Art | Doudna Fine Arts Center, Charleston, IL

A while back I was asked by UMAC here at Eastern Illinois University to grab a few photos of the High Art performers which was a real treat to watch and shoot. Access was great and I was even allowed to shoot from 'the grid' for a little bit which was thrilling to say the least.





Initially I was just supposed to photograph them prepping for the show, but that was a lot of standing around and adjusting the lighting.

So, I arranged to go back later at night to shoot the dress rehearsal which was really cool to see. Being an artistic kind of performance, I thought I would give myself a little latitude in playing with the light and getting the weird kind of shots that I tend to be drawn to.
