Art deserves documentation that respects it. Exhibitions, performances, and cultural events need photographs that capture the work, the staging, and the audience experience — without distracting from any of them.
Seattle Photo and Video photographs exhibitions, installations, performances, and cultural events for galleries, arts organizations, performers, and producers. The business is Seattle-based, works across the Puget Sound, and is available to travel for assignments. Coverage can include the installed exhibition, artwork in context, performances and stage production, artists and collaborators, rehearsals, audience response, and reception details. The approach during performances is deliberately unobtrusive: no disruptive flash during a performance, with low-light coverage coordinated in advance with the venue and performers. Images are edited for practical use: exhibition records, press kits, grant and portfolio applications, programs, and promotion for future shows and seasons.
Coverage priorities: Installed exhibitions and artwork in context; performances, stage, and production; artists, performers, and collaborators; rehearsals and behind-the-scenes; audience response; opening receptions and event details.

No disruptive flash during a performance; coverage is coordinated with the venue. Can you cover rehearsals? Yes, when arranged in advance. What do arts organizations receive afterward?
