I shot the Studio Theatre’s 3oth Anniversary Gala on Saturday. Great event. I’m personally a big fan of the Studio Theatre. The plays I have seen there are great. But more importantly, to me anyway, the building is amazing. Maybe it’s the brick walls, the lounge areas, the urban meets modern feel..i don’t know… but, me gusta.
Back to the event…this was probably one of the most challenging things I’ve had to shoot. Now, I love candles and I’m big on ambience, but for a photographer, at times it screams nightmare. The lighting was so low sometimes. And those were the same times that using a heavy flash would be inappropriate.
Luckily, fast lenses are my friend (and I’m great) and in the end it worked. They were very pleased with the photos and said they were the best gala photos they’ve ever received. Score!
Here are a few from the event… Click on the image to see the larger version. I’ll post more soon.
