Dayton Live / Victoria Theatre Association The Next Stage Donor Gift February 2020

March 30, 2020

Thank you to the Victoria Theatre Association (now Dayton Live) for featuring my Victoria Theatre, Schuster Center, The Loft, and PNC Arts Annex images in their “The Next Stage” donor gift book in February 2020. 90% of the images in the book are mine. This photo project of mine started with an Instameet at Victoria Theatre around 2015/2016!

I have loved the theaters in Dayton for decades, and a goal of mine was to photograph each empty. Along the same lines, I wanted to spend some time capturing the exterior facades. Over the years I accomplished both and was asked back to Dayton Live’s (new name) venues to photograph even more. It was a huge honor when they asked for permission to make this beautiful donor photo book. Check out my other Dayton commercial photography.

Published Theater Photography

Having worked at the University of Dayton for 14 years, I had my photos published tens of thousands of times. Each time I was honored. But when the Victoria Theatre Association (Dayton Live now) printed hundreds of one-of-a-kind photo books to use as donor gifts, I was extra excited. Seeing my work in print and knowing it was going out to the biggest donors in the Miami Valley was incredibly humbling. I just love Dayton, theaters, and photography. Being able to combine all three into something commemorating such a huge anniversary for Dayton was amazing.
