I am truly excited to share a recent project of mine I shot for The Berschauer Group and Erickson McGovern Architects - The Bonney Lake High School Performing Arts Center.
This beautifully designed and built Performing Arts Center seats 550 and includes a grand stage, a side stage, a green room and a grand lobby for mingling during intermissions and events. It sits adjacent to the main high school it is the centerpiece of this high school campus.
I was brought on board for initial discussions with Berschauer in late January/early February. Discussions about shots to cover and concepts gave way to serious pre-production planning throughout Spring and Summer, with eventual coordination of drama team talent secured through the Sumner-Bonney Lake School district early Fall. A few false starts here and there due to needed punch-list work and district trainings, but the stars all aligned on that one glorious late October day. And one crazy whirlwind 12 hour day on location it was.
I truly enjoy shooting K-12 projects and have done several for architects and builders throughout the Pacific Northwest. After careful curation and post production artwork was completed the job was delivered and met with great excitement. Everyone was super thrilled with the results. Mission accomplished!
I pour my heart and soul into my clients projects and never tire of their excitement at seeing the results. Elham Behzad, Architectural Designer at Erickson McGovern Architects, kindly shared these thoughts:
"Thank you Doug. All excellent pictures, and some are breath taking. It seems it was a beautiful day for the exteriors and the colorful fall foliage sure complemented the exteriors. I really liked the interior shots especially those showing the assembling of the acoustical shells on stage."
THANK YOU ?? Ellie for entrusting me to capture the beautiful spirit of your new PAC. A magic place where talents are showcased and dreams are born. Bravo!! ????
