Photo Shoot


The days seem to be rushing by so quickly! I have been working nonstop on costume construction and getting everything prepared for the show. I'm finishing up the final costume for the last set and am ready to start working on the models' costumes.

The other week I organized a photo shoot for the dancers. We needed photos to use in the promotional materials for the event, which are being designed by Erika Bilbo and will be ready soon.

The photo shoot was held in the Schaffer Lighting Studio with Scott Peters as our photographer, assisted by Justin Gurevitch. Holly Piselli came back in to coordinate all the girls' makeup and Tiffany Dewald, who I had never worked with before, came in to do their hair.

Holly tried a lot of new techniques this time and it went great. Everyone was very pleased with her work. I was also extremely impressed with Tiffany's work on the hair styles.

Despite a hectic shoot schedule, with three separate segments, we made it happen and it was a huge success.

Moving forward from the photo shoot I am focusing on bringing all the looks together and preparing for the show. Invitations will be in the mail soon!

Photo Shoot - East and West Coast - Coming Soon

Once the dancers’ costumes are complete there will be a photo shoot in Syracuse with Erin and Marie Claire, and another in Seattle, where our choreographer Kendal is currently living.

The photos will be used by our graphic designer, Erika Bilbo, for the Metanoia booklet and promotional poster series. I have been working with Erika a lot lately, going over design ideas and planning for the photo shoot.

While the pressure is on to have the costumes finished for the shoot, it is helpful to have a deadline other than the premier to work towards. The photo shoot will also be a good opportunity for me to see my costumes in action and see what alterations I may want to make before the performance.
