Capturing the Magic: Delaware Valley High School’s ‘Big Fish’

As a theater photographer, my passion lies in freezing those fleeting moments that encapsulate the essence of a performance. Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of photographing the upcoming production of Big Fish at Delaware Valley High School. This experience was not just a job but a journey into a world of dreams, love, and adventure that Big Fish beautifully portrays.

From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the energy and dedication of the students. Each performer brought their unique flair to their roles, making my job an absolute delight. The vibrant costumes, designed by the talented costume crew, added layers of depth to the characters, and the elaborate sets transported everyone to the whimsical world of Edward Bloom’s tall tales.

One of my favorite scenes to capture was the circus, a kaleidoscope of colors and excitement. The actors’ expressions, the choreography, and the lighting created a visual feast that was both challenging and rewarding to photograph. Each shot aimed to convey the spectacle and the emotion that the scene demanded.

Another highlight was photographing the intimate moments between Edward and his son, Will. These scenes required a delicate touch to capture the nuanced performances and the emotional weight they carried. The actors’ ability to convey complex emotions through subtle gestures and expressions made these photos some of my most cherished.

I also had the opportunity to take behind-the-scenes shots, capturing candid moments of the cast and crew. These photos provide a glimpse into the hard work and camaraderie that goes into creating such a production. It’s in these moments that the true spirit of theater shines through—the laughter, the teamwork, and the shared love for the art form.

Delaware Valley High School’s Big Fish is a testament to the extraordinary talent and dedication of its students and faculty. It was an honor to document this journey and preserve these memories for everyone involved. I hope these photographs will not only serve as a memento of this production but also inspire future generations of performers and artists.
