Happy Halloween! For the past few days, I have had the pleasure to photograph before and after one of my favorite shows, Punchdrunks’s New York based Sleep No More, an interactive play that takes place on 6 levels of the McKitterick Hotel. Its MacBeth meets Hitchcock’s Rebecca, silent theatre meets interpretive dance meets unbelievable set design… While I can’t post images from inside the show (you need to see it in person!), here are some favorites from the past few nights of a special pre-show outside, images from the bar “Manderley”, and the amazing and sexy after-parties held special for the weekend of Halloween.

This is probably one of the hardest places I have had to photograph. Inside much of the space you cannot use flash. Things move quickly and for those of you who know camera-talk, you are shooting at 6400 ISO wide open at 1.2 much of the time. The lighting is crazy and there is fog everywhere! Not ideal conditions, but when you hit it just right, you can capture the amazing look and feel of the show. Enjoy!
