We’ve had our eye on Pak Han, a rising star in theater and dance photo documentation here in the Bay Area, for some time now. So it is with great excitement (and thus fanfare) that we secured his services for shots of GOOD GOODS. Furthering our theater crush, not only is Pak’s work gorgeous and gritty, he’s just an overall swell guy who approaches his work with true artistry. Pak photographs on the fly during rehearsals. Armed with numerous cameras strapped to his side and a good pair of knee pads, he works the perimeter of the room with the deftness of an acrobat and the stealth of a super spy!
We’re thrilled with the results. The photo above features Anthony Rollins-Mullens as Waymon/Hunter Priestess. Following are some additional highlights:

At some point we encourage you to head on over to Pak’s website to check out more. We’d be remiss if we didn’t warn you that some of the shots give away potentially surprising plot points. So if you are the type that likes the spoilers, head over there now! If not, wait until after you see the show. And do be sure to check out Pak’s other work on his website and also at his upcoming exhibition at icTus gallery in SF July 7 through August 17th!
