Illuminatra | Private Party

Performance Art

Hey everyone! I've had the pleasure of meeting some incredible performers through Lache and the Fly Unfeathered shows, and one of those amazing talents is Mary from Illuminatra. She invited me to photograph their performance at a private party at Casa Cartel, and all I can say is... WOW! I love capturing performance art, but this setting was on a whole new level. From fire spinning acts to aerial performances, and even a giant inflatable ball in the pool that they could climb inside—every moment was pure magic.


The whole experience was absolutely mesmerizing, and I'm so glad I got to capture it. Check out some of my favorite shots from the event below. If you have some performance art or any other event that needs capturing, let's make some magic together! Book your session with me at The Vinyl Lens today.
