TUCSON, Ariz.—Sitting in the audience of Shen Yun Performing Arts, photographer Vance Thompson was itching to pick up a camera.
“I waited four years to see this production, and as a professional photographer, I really, really enjoyed watching the show, and the colors were just absolutely phenomenal. I loved it,” he said after seeing the performance at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall on Feb. 8.
“One day, I would like to meet the cast or some of them,” he added. “I would love to actually be the person who films the production ... I would love to be able to photograph the event and do that kind of stuff, that would be awesome for me.”
“This, to me, is visually stunning for me. That’s absolutely wonderful,” Mr. Thompson said.
“This gave me an opportunity not only to see the dance, but to get to understand, you know, what happened before, what’s happening now, and hopefully what may change in the future,” he said.
