Art Direction Photoshoots
A collection of photoshoots for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit theatre based in Dallas, Texas, including photoshoot moodboards and actor styling guides. From concept to creative direction, all styling, moodboard creation, and on-set direction was handled by me. A proud 4+ year partnership with photographer Kate Voskova across nearly 20 shoots and counting.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream Photoshoot
Concept: Shakespeare meets the Summer of Love in this vibrant photoshoot for A Midsummer Night's Dream, reimagined through the lens of Woodstock's counterculture spirit. Rich bohemian textures, sun-soaked color, and free-spirited energy bring the magic of the forest to life with a distinctly '69 feel, welcoming to first-timers and thrilling for those who know their Shakespeare.
Uncle Vanya Photoshoot
Concept: This photoshoot for Uncle Vanya transplants Chekhov's quiet despair to the dust and heat of 1930s rural Alabama. Earthy tones, weathered textures, and moody studio lighting set a mood that feels as heavy and honest as the land itself. The result is a portrait of longing and stillness that mirrors the soul of the play.
Hamlet Photoshoot
Concept: This photoshoot for Hamlet channels the play's obsessions with power, madness, and betrayal into a stark visual language of black, white, and red. Long exposures capture subtle movement, leaving trails of red blur that speak to each character's unraveling inner world. The result is as dramatic and unsettling as the play itself.
The Glass Menagerie Photoshoot
Concept: This shoot for The Glass Menagerie leans into the play's identity as a memory, using mirrors to give every image a fragmented, reflective quality. Actors in soft whites, tans, and blues dissolve into their own reflections, evoking the hazy, bittersweet distance of a world half-remembered. The result feels as delicate and longing as the play itself.
