Zoe Donahoe, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A striking group portrait captured by photographer Zoe Donahoe features multiple eccentric performers dressed in theatrical and avant-garde costumes. Several individuals are seated together on a tufted red velvet couch, while others are positioned around them in a vintage theatre auditorium with tiered red seating visible in the background. The central figure wears a vibrant orange wig, pale makeup, and platform boots, raising one arm in a dramatic pose. Other subjects wear historical-inspired garments, including a top hat and ruffled white shirts, alongside dark theatrical attire. The direct flash lighting creates a raw, candid atmosphere with stark shadows and saturated colours.
