Sarah Albu and I had a dream of a photoshoot last month! 

She had wanted ā€œbold, in your face, atypical for operaā€ in her roles as performer and producer (among many hats!), and we zeroed in on some pretty cool choices for clothing, makeup, and fun accessories that she had brought. We very much were in a ā€œyes, andā€ kinda flow. 

Some of the intensity was brought to you by AFI and Meshuggah blasting in the background as we worked. But we started gently with ambient NIN. 

Sarah’s got a performance energy and presence like no other and is probably the person who has most made me feel fear in a live performance—but she can also make you LMAO/LYAO. 

On my side, it was great to play with natural / editorial light and approaches, experimenting with in-camera multi-exposures, and dialing in a fashion lighting setup with two lights, a subtle gel, reflector and the trusty homemade v-flats as negative fill contour. 

These are some of my favorite photos from our session. It’s been cool to see one out in the wild for Chants Libres’ Oper’Actuel—Sarah is the master-producer and a performer and it’s such a great vibe of community. I’m happy to have some bits of bass-ing in that too. 

I’m so glad to have assisted Sarah in having images for the future. We’ve known each other for about half a lifetime and have many stories and inside jokes. It was beautiful to see how that rapport translated in the photoshoot šŸ¦‘ā˜ŗļø

Thanks, dear friend!
