April James

Clients will often come into a shoot wanting to create images for two or three of their careers. So it's not uncommon for someone to say they want to be shot in a tux for orchestral performances and in turtleneck and jeans for jazz club gigs, or to be dressed alternately in daytime business and nighttime performance attire. When April James entered my studio, she told me she was both a classical vocalist and a juggler! While we both initially assumed this would be two different shots, it turned out that we were able to combine the two in this rather magical image. The ball, incidentally, is in motion, not suspended by some invisible wire or artificially Photoshopped in after the fact. Whenever possible, I prefer to create imagery in-camera-it's part of the art and excitement of photography.
