After 19 summers as Festival Photographer at Jacob’s Pillow, this year marks a meaningful transition. For the first time, I won’t be spending the entire summer on the Pillow grounds.
Every summer, by the time my family and I are getting ready to leave Jacob’s Pillow and head to Vail Dance Festival, I’m fully in a creative groove. That was as true as ever this year.
As a photographer, I get to see the many sides of artists and how they work, both on and off the stage. I’m lucky to be able to capture those different states of creativity.
This summer at Vail Dance Festival 2024 was an experience that reinforced why I’m so passionate about capturing live performance.
This Fall, I had the pleasure of photographing Fall for Dance at New York City Center. This was the first time I made photos of a full show with a live audience for this festival, and it was really fantastic to photograph the show in its full and vibrant entirety (I photographed the 2020 performances during the pandemic without an audience, and last year, I worked with Nel’s video team.)
