Backstage photography by Stuart Rankin

The studio

Working quietly,
close to the action.

From the wings of a school musical to a lit studio corner, the method is the same: stay unobtrusive, shoot the moment before and after the obvious one, then edit slowly so every frame in a series belongs to the same night.
