Gwinnett Ballet Nutcracker 2008 Photo Gallery by Richard Calmes at pbase.com

Gwinnett Ballet Nutcracker 2008

This gallery is composed of images from the Gwinnett Ballet Theatre's 27th Anniversary production season of The Nutcracker.

I have been asked many times to show more backstage scenes so I have included many backstage shots during performance. None of these shots are posed.
I lurk about backstage waiting on enough light to shoot. The dancers totally ignore me, thankfully!
The performance shots are mostly taken during dress rehearsals but there are a few made from the orchestra area during live performances.

Most images were made with a Canon Mark IIIDs and a few with a Mark IIID all at ISO 1600.
