Imagine trying to dance on a stage roughly 5×5 feet and sharing the stage with taiko drums. How would you photograph this miniature performance? My interpretation was to climb up and point down on the platform. To keep that feeling of “smallness”, I wanted to only illuminate the performers. These images will be used for the Portland Taiko’s press releases. If you spot one of these in a publication, please let me know!
