Live Performance

Though concert photography is a real challenge, there's nothing like the excitement of capturing another artist at his best. The dramatic lighting and excitement of the crowd really gets the adrenaline going. I'm a big fan of performing arts, especially live music.

AAFP is privileged with being the house photographer for both The Santa Barbara Bowl and The Arlington Theatre. Our sister company, In Color, has been providing graphic services to the Bowl since 1997, and we began photographing the evolving, award winning venue in 2002. We also documented the major construction throughout their ten-year renovation plan.

Check out the Santa Barbara Bowl's photo gallery website for hundreds of photos which are restricted from posting on this website.

In 2006, we began working at The Arlington Theatre. This historic venue was just begging for someone's attention in capturing its unique beauty and exquisite architecture. Don't forget to check out our other shots in the Architecture section.  Visit their website for hundreds more photos.
