The Mo`olelo Performing Arts Company is currently in rehearsal for it’s next production, Good Boys, a play by Jane Martin. So that means another promotional photo shoot is in the works as well. I’ve often blogged that this is one of my favorite assignments, as I get to collaborate on a dynamic visual that communicates the essence of the play. Here’s a synopsis as stated on Mo`olelo’s website:
Good Boys is the story of two men, one black one white, who meet eight years after a school shooting in which both their sons died, one a victim the other the shooter. As the fathers search for understanding and viciously cast blame, they confront difficult questions about vengeance and responsibility. Is it possible to heal?
I’ll post more details about the play once the visual identity is complete. In the meantime, here’s a few behind the scenes pics of our shoot at Hoover High School. The setup was done in the late afternoon, and the shoot commenced at nightfall. And yeah, it was cold.
That’s my assistant Deb sitting in for an exposure test before the actors arrived.
While we adjust lights, exposure and composition, the actors stayed warm by throwing sleeping bags around them.
