RAW (Rivertown Artists Workshop)
I've been the RAW (Rivertown Artists Workshop) house photographer since the group formed in 2013. Photographing RAW dance and music performances has given me a love for dance photography, and has led me to photograph more dance including the Isadora Duncan Dance Company, The Rivertown Dance Academy (RDA), and Horace Mann High School dance and drama performances.

RAW seeks to tap into that pool of talent.
