I've after shooting Bare Theatre's (Raleigh, NC) productions all last year, I've been made their official photographer (yay me!) Last week I shot my first theatre poster. This is just the photo portion, they'll add the play details and schedule in the empty middle portion.
The play is "Love Letters", and really consists of two people reading their love letters to each other throughout their lives. The play itself doesn't sound all that exciting to photograph, especially after doing Macbeth and Titus Andronicus this year. But after producing this poster, I really want to see what this play is about.
To give it that "painted" look, I bumped up the contrast and clarity to 100 in Lightroom, and then boosted the vibrance to 33. And now it's hard to tell this is a photo.
