America Ballet Theater Spring Gala 2017

Last night was the American Ballet Theater Spring Gala and despite the rain the night did go on. Normally the red carpet is outside but because of the weather they moved all the photographers inside into the David Koch Theater for the red carpet photos.
Rather than shoot everyone against the event backdrop I stayed out side under the awning and captured everyone on their way in. With dresses lifted high to avoid the rain the dancers and guests all arrived smiling. High light of the night was Katie Holmes who came with her Mom and sister all looking radiant.

This year the BCRF 2017 Hot Pink Party Gala moved to a new location, The Park Ave Armory in NYC.
Wow what a night. The space was filled with luminous sparkling lights that gave the effect of being in the middle of the universe surrounded by stars. Actually I think I was surrounded by stars from all walks of life. There were the Delta Flight Attendants who gave a check for 1.8 million dollars and the Von Mandl Family that gave a check for 250 thousand dollars.
There were famous Doctors, Actors, Hairdressers, friends and lots more, all dressed up and ready to help raise money to fund the research that is going to find the solution to overcoming Breast Cancer.

NY City Ballet on the Terrace At the end of the night.

I was all packed up and ready to leave when I looked out on the terrace and saw a couple quietly enjoying a moment alone. I could not resist getting my camera back out of my bag and sneaking out to take a quick photo.
So as it was I was suddenly not alone with the 2. Another couple saw me taking a photo and asked if I could shoot them too. It was so wonderful. The backdrop of Lincoln Center at night is so romantic and I loved the way everyone was so eager to smooch.
Thanks for letting me do what I love to do most, capture effortless images of beautiful moments.
