High School Talent Show
Helped out my buddy with taking some pics of the High School kids Talent Show dress rehearsal. Whitney is a school in Whittier, CA for the top scoring kids in the district and these are really smart and talented kids that can put on a top notch show.
Basically, we show up to the theater, it's lit with spot lights so the metering is tricky. We have no idea what the acts will be, where on stage they will be performing, and how it will be lit. They perform for several minutes and that's the time you have to take the shots.
It was tough but also fun.
1. American Idol???
2. Singing.
3. Ballet Girl.
4. Taking a bow.
5. Sax Man.
6. Go Sax Man! (focus is on the sax and not the eyes, oh well)

3 and 4 are stunners.
The rim lighting and shadows make them so.

Normally, performance photography isn't my think, but with dress rehearsals I am on stage and can walk right upto them as they are performing.
I hope it doesn't intimidate the kids as my buddy and another school photographer is also there. But I hear that the kids really do enjoy the pics.
