Balanchine's Rubies

The three week run of Carolina Ballet's rendition of 'Balanchine's Rubies' finishes today. We photographed the dress rehearsal a few weeks ago and here are some of our favorite pictures from the shoot.

Boot Dogs

Here's the latest ad that Armes Photography designed for the Australian Shepherd Health & Genetics Institute.
Getting the two dogs to act on queue and pose together turned out to be a challenge.
In the end we merged two separate images, hope you can't see the join!
The ad is in the July edition of Aussie Times, others to follow.

Carolina Ballet's The Nutcracker

Carolina Ballet is currently staging a completely reworked version of The Nutcracker. This is the first time for about 10 years that a full dress rehearsal has been held in order to update the photo portfolio. We took over 2000 images at the dress and are busy working through them now for Carolina Ballet to use in future publicity materials. Due to popular demand here's a few preview shots for viewing over the Christmas holiday.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Aussie Times

Here's an advertisement that I designed for the Australian Shepherd Health & Genetics Institute. It's in the March - April 2011 edition of the 'Aussie Times' and will appear in one or two other journals later in the year. It's good to be able to contribute to a worthy cause!
