Boston: The Nutcracker 2013: A Backstage Look, Part I
I was beyond excited and honored to photograph a live production of the Boston Ballet's Nutcracker from the wings and backstage this season. It was a dream come true! If you remember, last season, I was invited for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the costumes, which was a delight in itself.
This season, to be able to see such incredible artistry up close was just magical. I'm amazed by how professional, disciplined and organized the Boston Ballet production is backstage!
With the "Waltz of the Snowflakes" even I was covered from head to toe with "snow" as I photographed from the wings, making the dream a reality. The amazing dancers were literally within arm's length.
It's truly been an amazing year of photoshoots in Boston!
Here's to a Happy 2014!
Press play and join me for an inside look at the Boston Ballet's The Nutcracker...
More to come!
