Photographing a play dealing with themes that many may find uncomfortable is a particular interest of mine. Beautiful Thing follows the story of a youth coming to terms with his sexuality while living with a drug-dealing brother, an abusive, alcoholic father, and more. Through all the difficult moments, it’s a touching story and one that I hope people don’t miss out on. Photographing this play’s somewhat close and quiet moments was effortless, the cast could have easily had me believe they’ve known each other for years.

You can see our Beautiful Thing gallery and more in our photos below.

Photographing local theatre is a great way to help them get their news out to the media, as we all know that newspaper budgets are often too tight to have a photographer come to every local event. My work for the Walterdale Playhouse has appeared in not only Edmonton’s weekly papers (SEE and VUE) but also the St. Albert Gazette, The Edmonton Journal and The Edmonton Sun. We’re a small Edmonton portrait photography studio. If you’d like to get your portraits taken, have your event photographed for media, or have any questions, get in touch with us!

Tranquilizers, mistaken (and assumed) identities, the opera, and more are features in Lend me a Tenor at the Walterdale Playhouse in our latest Edmonton portrait and theatre photography session. The cast was fantastic and trying to keep a straight face amongst all the comedy was difficult for everyone.

Here’s our latest set of Edmonton portrait and theatre photography for the Walterdale Theatre! The shoot was a lot of fun as usual, and the young cast were a perfect fit for the roles.

Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean is now playing in Edmonton and features the all-female fan club called “the Disciples of James Dean.” The group meets at a Woolworths five-and-dime branch in McCarthy, Texas.

The Shakespearean tragedy Hamlet comes to Edmonton theatre once again, this time as The Tragicall Historie of Hamlet, Prince of Denmarke at the Walterdale theatre. This was a large production with a great cast and a tale that hasn’t been performed live in Edmonton in quite some time. As usual, it was a pleasure to photograph and I thank the great cast and crew for the opportunity.

You can see more of what has gone rotten in Denmark in the The Tragicall Historie of Hamlet, Prince of Denmarke gallery, and our three photos below.

The play Black Hearts in the Green Room at the Walterdale playhouse in Edmonton features stories of the theatre’s haunted tales and resident ghosts. Seeing the actors in their ghostly makeup was quite a sight and fright, but being mostly friendly spirits my photography wasn’t deterred.

You can see more of the scary tale in the Black Hearts in the Green Room gallery and a sampling of the series below.

Children of a Lesser God was another great Edmonton event photography shoot. I’ve photographed a few plays at the Walterdale in the last two years but hadn’t seen either of the lead actors before.  Combining not only acting but signing as well must be taxing on the memory but they pulled it off greatly!

Despite being quite active himself, King Henry II’s three sons and his wife all want to inherit the throne, but he won’t make his decision as they all have treacherous plans for him. As one reviewer put it, “The pure joy comes from seeing all of them try to outmaneuver each other with every new and different playing piece put on or taken off the board, hatching alternative schemes as fast as one can say Long live the King!”

The Lion in Winter is the latest Edmonton theatre photography shoot we’ve done at the Walterdale Playhouse. You can see more of the Lion in Winter gallery and a sampling of the series below. Don’t miss the play!

Crimes of the Heart is our latest event photographed for the Walterdale playhouse in Edmonton. Edmonton’s vibrant theatre scene continues on in this new play and I continue to be humbled and appreciative of their great work, and my fortune in being able to photograph it.

The classic tale of Sinbad has been updated with a large cast and elaborate stage design in our latest Edmonton event photography session at the Walterdale playhouse. Featuring at least one too many men in dresses, gigantic vultures, and audience interaction shout-out moments, I’m sure crowds will have just as much fun at the play as I had photographing it.

Three photos from the evening are below, but you can see more in the Sinbad photo gallery.

The Walterdale Playhouse has once again asked me to photograph one of their local productions. This time the story is the Trial of Salomé, featuring big laughs, comedic characters, and much more.

While I’ve been taking photographs at the Edmonton Walterdale Theatre for quite some time now, they continually come up with great productions to put on. Three of my favorite photos from the evening are below, but you can see the entire Trial of Salomé gallery as well.
