Strobe

This photo assignment was fun but also rather difficult.  There was so much freedom given to us to decide who we wanted to photograph, where we wanted to take the photographs, and how we wanted to capture part of the essence of SCPA.  All of these freedoms were greatly appreciated because it offered a great outlook for each of our artistic expressions.  These freedoms were also hard to manage because we had to just leap into the project head first without any concrete rules.
Working with the strobe was very interesting.  It was neat to see how many different looks we could get with that source of lighting.
My group and I chose to shoot in the scene shop in the Grand Theatre.  We all agreed on this location because we wanted to represent the technical theatre aspect of SCPA because we felt that this art rarely gets any credit.  This location worked well for our photographs because there is so much to look at which keeps the onlooker interested without feeling overwhelmed.  This location was perfect for representing the building aspect of the technical theatre art.  It represents the chaos, dirty, and artistic sides of stagecraft.
