Shadow
Look just past a person and you may discover something even more intriguing...their shadow!
My day was filled with more shadow puppetry than I could have ever imagined. I was honored when asked to be the photographer for a fantastic upcoming show called Shadow Play by Trusty Sidekick Theater Company. I had never done a shadow focused shoot before and I was extremely excited. When I started photographing I couldn't believe the personality that this shadow took on. It was amazing to see it come to life before my eyes.
After the shoot I headed uptown to catch Miss Ophelia; a shadow puppetry theater piece. It blew my mind, such a simple production that evoked such emotion with cardboard, lights, two very talented actors and imagination. It was a wonderful, inspiring day and I wanted to leave you with some great photographs I found that highlight children shadows...
Remember, the next time you are out taking photos of your children whether it is with a simple point and shoot or your phone keep an eye out...you may find their shadow.
