Why Shoot the Dress Rehearsal?

The case for photographing a musical's dress rehearsal rather than opening night.

Why Shoot the Dress Rehearsal?, Syrenn Studios

More freedom

At a dress run, the photographer can move around the theatre without disturbing a paying audience.

Time for marketing

Photos from the dress rehearsal can be used to promote the rest of the season.

Treat it like a show

Ask the cast to perform fully, in full costume, makeup and lighting, so the images look like the real thing.
