Promo Photos & Poster Design for Ozarks Lyric Opera's Production of Pagliacci Starring Michael Spyres

When Sean and Michael Spyres reached out to me to take promo photos and create the poster for Ozark Lyric Opera's production of Pagliacci, I was super excited. Their take on Pagliacci is so refreshing and inspiring and I knew we would have a lot of fun collaborating on this.  They wanted to pull in ideas from lots of vintage circus inspiration. How could it not be fun?

We took group and individual portraits of everyone with two backdrop options (Gold and Red velvet curtains). It was a lot of fun seeing these performers getting into character throughout their photoshoots. Plus, the costumes were...I mean, just look!

For the poster, Michael wanted to pull from old school circus imagery (see below for 2 examples he sent me)...and I went in and illustrated some of the photos I took to create both photo and illustrated poster options. 

The final two posters they decided on were both illustrated posters. See below!
