Cephus Picked to Give Opera New Flavor

Shooting the Opera talent was one of the defining moments of my photographic career. It has given me an image as an artist, a visionary and a trendsetter. The images of this photo shoot will be the "face" of the opera for print advertisement, billboards, media kits, brochures, posters, etc. Danielle Canonico, Director of Marketing for the Harrison Opera House, saw the cover I did for the singles issue for Hampton Roads Magazine and contracted me to do this commercial shoot for the opera. "I didn't want something stiff and staged like we've done in the past," explained Danielle. "We wanted to show emotion, movement and fashion, the embodiment of Keith's style."   The production was a major success thanks to makeup artist Kim Wadsworth of Wadsworth style and her assistant Valarie Todesco. Special thanks to my assistants Sean and Marco for assisting with lighting. And kudos to Danielle and her staff for giving me this great opportunity!!
