This past year, I took on a client that led to amazing opportunities I never even thought I would have. I began working with Lake Area Independent, a world-class winter guard affiliated with Winter Guard International, as their public relations director. What is winter guard? It is indoor color guard pageantry that incorporates dancing, flag work, and weaponry.
So what did this activity do for me this year? It gave me the chance to see some of the most amazing young performing artists I've ever seen expose me to a whole new art. The way these kids perform with such emotion inspired me as a photographer. They made me want to capture the feeling they were expressing through their performances. Getting to work with various high school and independent groups has shown me the hard work, dedication, and skill that goes into this craft and I would like to share with you some of what I got to see.
The pictures I am sharing are of the talent that is right here in Louisiana. There is an amazing amount of artistic talent in our community if we only just open our eyes and watch. I want to thank Lake Area Independent, Lafayette High School Winter Guard, Westlake High School Winter Guard, and Lake Arthur High School Winter Guard for allowing me to capture their shows and share with me their talent.
