One of my favorite aspects of my job is that it gets me into rooms I don’t normally move in.

Great concert at the New Marigny Theatre!

Fun trips and good food (and food photography) with Jazzmen Rice

Did you see COINTELSHOW?

There’s nothing better than the feeling of knowing I was in the right place at the right time.

In our digital age the headshot is no longer a necessity just for actors.

It is no easy feat to walk in a Mardi Gras parade, but the spirit of the Tulane University Marching Band kept my feet moving. Here are some of the sights you would’ve seen if you were on the streets on Lundi Gras 2024 with us.

This spring I photographed multiple performances by the Tulane Department of Theatre & Dance including this show entitled Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play by Anne Washburn.

Taylor Mannenga was a student at Loyola University that was a member of the Tulane University Marching Band (TUMB). Whenever I was on a shoot for the band I could always rely upon Taylor for bringing extra energy to game day as you can see below. The first three photos were from a recent headshot session for Taylor’s senior music performance.

These photos were from student performances in the Tulane University Department of Theatre & Dance that were collectively known as Plays with Fire. Working with professionals is great, but nothing beats the energy and excitement of working with students.

If you don’t have time to read all of Shakespeare’s works you can watch The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]. It’s way better than Cliff’s Notes. This was a hilarious production performed as part of the Tulane Shakespeare Festival starring Lauren Malara, Keith Claverie, & Ian Hoch.

I had the pleasure of photographing an immersive new play by Dodd Loomis entitled Only Miracles . The show was based on research he did into his wife’s family’s journey fleeing Nazi occupied Europe and coming to the United States.

Normally I’m shooting these students as they are marching and hyping up the crowds of a football game or parade, but at least once a year I get to see them dressed up at Dixon Hall playing a variety of genres in concert. So much talent on one stage.

Nicole Marquez is a powerful performer with an amazing story of resilience and strength. She shared her performance piece, part dance and part personal narrative, about her fall from NYC apartment that nearly killed her during her residency at Catapult as part of Mondo Bizarro’s Presents series. If you have the opportunity to see her in action do not hesitate to get a ticket.

I had a blast attending my first New Orleans Book Fest at Tulane University. There were so many interesting people discussing their work from food to football, architecture to social progress.

I had a great time down by the Mississippi River with Phil Cramer and Daron Douglas shooting promo photos for the new Steele Creek album Towards the Light. We’ve got a new music video collaboration coming out in the fall.

Working with these future professional actors is one of my favorite gigs of the year.

These are a few of my favorite photos I took for Tulane University’s Department of Theatre and Dance’s latest production of Antigone.

Painted my first backdrop!

I had a great portrait session with Dr. J. Celeste Lay from Tulane University last week. She needed a new photo to accompany her forthcoming book about education in Louisiana. Look out for it!
