When I photographed Anna Claire a couple of weeks ago we were unable to arrange to get into the Paramount Theatre due to the quarantine shut downs. So as things are starting to loosen up a bit, and because Anna Claire has such a rich history with the Paramount we were allowed in for a short time. I would like to thank my lighting assistant, Amy Boone, and our trusty iPhones for our on stage lighting. Anna Claire is pure poetry. These images to me are like a lovely sonata, with movement, grace and expression. I felt like some of the poetry of these images is a ballerina’s legs and feet. I wanted each note to shine, so there is little to no retouching on most of these images.
