Don’s response
Filling the frame and dialling up the drama with the extra dark vignetting are exactly right for this spectacular figure.
The lick of flame on the performer’s hand is a real Chef’s kiss too.
Photographer Marlon Porter’s theatrical and technically accomplished image would make a great lobby card or poster for the performance.
Note perfect.
