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.

ABT Fall Gala 2014

Last Wednesday October 22nd 2014 was the ABT Fall Gala at Lincoln Center. I was there for Quest Magazine and as always it was a great group of people to photograph.

I often get asked if any one ever makes me weak at the knees when I work and the answer is no not usually but I have to say when Chris Noth looked up and caught my eye I though I was having a true Sex in the City moment. Where were the cameras and the director. Where was the script that said he would then come over and ask the photographer to dance?

Luckily for my knobby knees that script was not written and I managed to continue on photographing the likes of the beautiful Leslie Ziff, Misty Copeland, Nigel and Cristen Barker, Andrew Martin Weber, Idre Rockefeller, Gillian Miniter, Christian Siriano, Deborah Roberts, Chiu-Ti Jansen, Hanna Bronfman, Jean Shafiroff, Caryn Zucker, Susan Fales-Hill, Star Jones, Julia Loomis, Kevin Mc Kenzie, Anna Tatlock, Rachel Moore, Fe Fendi, Hamish Bowles, Marcelo Gomez  and a host of others.
