Gary Marlowe photographed the diversity dance troupe's "Digitzed" performance in Brighton in April 2012. He was only allowed to shoot for 15 minutes from the lighting desk due to the large video screen and stage lighting. Despite the challenging conditions, he captured some interesting images that show the movement and energy of the performance. The photos provide a glimpse of the lively show through Marlowe's distinctive visual style.

ABOUT THESE IMAGES
THIS WAS MY SECOND TIME SHOOTING DIVERSITY. IN DECEMBER 2010 I SHOT THEIR ‘DIVERSITOYS’ SHOW AT
THE BRIGHTON CENTRE (WHICH YOU CAN ALSO SEE HERE ON SLIDESHARE) AT THE BEGINNING OF APRIL 2012,
THEY WERE BACK IN BRIGHTON AT THE SAME VENUE WITH THEIR NEW SHOW CALLED ‘DIGITIZED’. WITH SO
MANY PEOPLE MOVING AROUND ON STAGE, THEY’RE ALWAYS SOMETHING OF A CHALLENGE TO SHOOT,
ESPECIALLY AS THEY PERFORM IN FRONT OF A HUGE FLOOR TO CEILING VIDEO SCREEN WHICH PLAYS HAVOC
WITH THE CAMERA’S SENSOR. I WAS ONLY ALLOWED TO PHOTOGRAPH FIFTEEN MINUTES OF THE SHOW AND
HAD TO SHOOT FROM THE LIGHTING DESK. APART FROM THE SCREEN AND A CRAZY HIGH STAGE, THERE WAS
A LOT OF WHITE LIGHT, A LOT OF SMOKE AND OF COURSE A LOT OF MOVEMENT. DESPITE EVERYTHING, OR
PERHAPS BECAUSE OF IT, I GOT SOME REALLY INTERESTING IMAGES. SOME MAY LOOK LIKE THEY’RE
‘BITMAPPED’ - THEY’RE NOT, IT’S THE VIDEO SCREEN. OBVIOUSLY, THEY’RE JUST A SNAPSHOT OF DIVERSITY’S
PERFORMANCE, BUT WHAT I LIKE IS THAT THEY’RE SO DIFFERENT FROM MY LAST SET OF IMAGES OF THEM. I
HOPE YOU LIKE THESE AS MUCH AS I DO! PS: APOLOGIES FOR THE PROMINENT WATERMARKS, BUT THESE
DAYS IT’S A NECESSARY EVIL!
