‘Behind the Spotlight’ captures the silent moments before the applause. The project focuses on the glamour and preparation that takes place before the curtain is lifted. Through a series of posed portraits, candid shots and detail images, Behind the Spotlight reveals the emotions and processes experienced before the performance takes place. I created this work to show the reality and authenticity of people behind the stage. I wanted to bring light to the beauty of preparing for a show, because without it, the magic of theatre would not exist.
