This past year I donated some shooting sessons to Circus Juventas as part of their annual fund raising gala. One of the lucky winners asked me to photograph her 5 year old during the spring "little Kids" performance.
I really get a kick out these kids and how they so willing embrace the obvious alternative nature of circus performance. They get far more out participating in this program than they would most other programs. Kids in Circus Juventas programs get a wide range of training from athletic to dance to performance any one of which would greatly help a child’s development but when combined the result is amazing.
A few more from the performance…

I did a recent PR shoot for Circus Juventas to use in the advertising for their up coming show. Katie the model was suspended from the ceiling of the big top to look like she was flying. I love working with these guys it is always fun!
She will be cut out and placed into a larger graphic image so capturing the feeling of a ghost bride searching for her lost love was important. I opted to use my SB-800s with 2 small Chimera soft boxes and California Sunbounce reflector placed as a gobo in front of part of the light to the left of the image. I set a 2 stop difference between the two lights with brightest on the right of the photo. This created nice shadows to enhance the spookiness.
