Pirates of Penzance performance at Albuquerque Academy professional theatre photography
Pirate play in Albuquerque
This was my second play performed by the students at Albuquerque Academy photographed in the past 3 months. Their rousing performance this time was of Pirates of Penzance. Not being a theatre buff, I had never heard of it so the story as it unfolded in front of my camera lenses was a surprise to me! Professional theatre photography is becoming a new niche for me as a professional photographer here in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I am really liking the challenge of it.
Reserve your tickets and support local student theatre! Still shows February 28th and 29th!
Behind the scenes to up in the catwalk!
For photographing this play I got to start with shots of the cast getting ready putting on makeup, costumes, and the orchestra warming up. I really had free reign to go anywhere in the theatre itself, even up on the wraparound catwalk! That was quite an experience dangling my camera and lens from high above in the dark. Thank you so much Jalene for continuing to choose me as the theatre photographer for Albuquerque Academy and great job by all the students for their performances in the final dress rehearsal!
