One of my favorite recurring assignments is shooting promotional images for the Mo`olelo Performing Arts Company, an emerging theatre company here in San Diego. In only a few years, the company has gained tremendous momentum and validation throughout the local creative community with their consistently provocative productions.
I shot this image for Mo`olelo’s upcoming play, Cowboy vs. Samurai, directed by the company’s Associate Director, Kimber Lee. This is a story based on the popular Cyrano De Bergerac character, but with an Asian twist. The photo is the product of a collaboration with graphic designer and good buddy, Courtney Mayer, who I’ve had the pleasure of working with on numerous occasions. After digesting the essence of the play, followed by a few creative brainstorming sessions, we emerged with a visual concept to project the core message. We then worked out the shoot logistics, secured a great location at a private ranch in Descanso, and off we went!
Cowboy vs. Samurai runs 12/1/07 through 12/16/07. For additional information and tickets, go to Mo`olelo’s website www.moolelo.net
