  1. Here’s your shot Theater/Stage

  2. Here are your tips: • Shoot before, during and after the production. • Shoot during dress rehearsal. • Attend other rehearsals to plan your shots. • Shoot no less than 200 shots. • Work with theater teacher to be allowed on stage during rehearsal. • Turn the flash off. • Don’t forget the technical people. • Look for one-person, two-people, small group, large group moments.

  3. Photocomposition • Leading lines • Fill the frame • The outstretched arms lead the eye straight to Huck Finn. • The colorful costumes make a wonderful backdrop. • The large group captures many of the cast members. • Attending a previous rehearsal let the photographer know when moments like these would occur in the play.

  4. Photocomposition • Emotion • Fill the frame • Rule of thirds • Photographer captures a key moment between two major characters. • Getting on the stage is key to capturing unique angles like this.

  5. Photocomposition • Fill the frame • Framing • The costume provides a frame for the character’s face and captures emotion. • Dramatic costumes like these for Beauty and the Beast make beautiful photographs. • Go ahead and turn the flash off and use the natural lighting of the stage.

  6. Photocomposition • Emotion • Fill the frame • Large group • Somewhere in your theater coverage, a large group photo like this one should be included to capture and highlight the cast. • Choose a high energy moment, and get on the stage.

  7. Photocomposition • Rule of thirds • Fill the frame • Small group • Capture secondary roles as well as leading roles. • Odd numbers of people make better composition.

  8. Photocomposition • Unique angle • Aperture control • Rule of thirds • The “techies” are sure to love this photo. Don’t forget the people who make these plays possible. • The head-set microphone keys us in to the role this person plays. • The silhouette makes this a powerful image.

  9. Photocomposition • Emotion • Fill the frame • Rule of thirds • Single in on key actors for emotion shots. • Get on the stage and get close.

  10. Photocomposition • Anticipate the moment • Fill the frame • Small group • Backstage primping in the mirror doesn’t get much better than this. They’re even taking photos of themselves and checking them out. • One photographer should be stationed backstage to capture these types of moments. • Shoot the faces, not the backs of their heads. Position yourself between the subjects and the mirror.

  11. Photocomposition • Unique angle • Fill the frame • Rule of thirds • Repetition of pattern • Mirror provides a great angle. • Take this type of shot. Look for guys getting help from the girls in makeup application.

  12. Photocomposition • Silhouette • Repetition of pattern • Aperture/shutter control • Knowing the red backdrop would be used during Chicago, the photographer could plan for the silhouette. • Using a wide lens and a low aperture makes this type of photo possible. This one was a 200/2.8.
