A perk to being a photographer in orchestra is that you get to do some pretty cool things. From working with music professors at Penn State University, to seeing the Cleveland Symphony, working with Mark Wood (co-founder of Trans-Siberian Orchestra), to most recently going to Chicago. The trip this year included a visit to the Field Museum, the Shield Aquarium, the Navy Pier, the William Harris Lee Violin Workshop, and the Chicago Symphony.
A crazy cool trip like that leads to some amazing photo opportunities. In a city full of life, noise, and tons of people, there are so many things to shoot. One of my favorite places was Millennium Park which is home to the Bean. Walking there, I got some great candids of people in our group and those around the park. The violin workshop proved to have some great rhythm and angles shots with all of the diverse shapes of the instruments. Being able to see the city through the view finder of my camera was an awesome thing and I am excited to share the images caught with you. These were taken with my Nikon D3000 and tweaked in Lightroom.
