A closer look

This St. Pete Pride collection follows performers on stage and beside the audience. The photographs include Kerri Colby, Discord Addams and other moments from the live event.

What connects the photographs

Costume, gesture and expression carry the energy of the set. Moving between a performer’s full presence and a closer interaction keeps the collection connected to both the show and the people watching it.

Inside the images

Three things to notice

01

Stage gestures communicate movement in a single frame.

02

Bright costumes provide strong visual points of focus.

03

Audience-facing moments connect the performance to the wider event.

How this approach could work for you

For live event coverage, I would plan around the run of show and key participants while leaving room for moments that cannot be scripted.

Before a session, we can talk through what you need the photographs to communicate, where they will be used and the moments that matter most. From there, we can shape a shot list and a pace that fit the project.
