CATCHING THE MOMENT: The Art of Photographing Live Performance
Since it began producing shows 15 years ago, Town Hall Theater has been blessed with four photographers who have chronicled nearly every production: Trent Campbell, Cindi Duff, Max Kraus and Ernie Longey. Capturing a play or concert on film is a tricky business. Actors are always on the move, dancers more so, and though a stage looks bright the amount of candlepower is actually quite low. The work of these four photographers demonstrates that theater photography is not just a recording of a play or a concert, but an art form all by itself.
