Faces of the Guthrie Theater. This place is packed with incredible history.
THE GUTHRIE THEATER
Great history of the Guthrie Theater
It is amazing both in terms of theater productions and also for its incredible architecture. Many would not be accustomed to this type of architecture and might be a little puzzled by it, but this is world class award winning architectural art and it is so great to be able to explore and experience it.
The Guthrie Theater staff is very open to photographers exploring during all hours of the day whenever it�s opened. If you have not been there yet be sure to put it on your list and get there.
Things to see at the Guthrie are of course the amazing endless bridge. The bridge gives you such breathtaking views of the city and the best part is you�re out doors and on this particular day it was a gorgeous 80 degrees in Minneapolis. This bridge is not only special because its cityscape views but it is also very unique because of its architecture.
The bridge is hanging out in the middle of nowhere and it�s totally unsupported. It has to be structured somehow to hold all that weight. It is stabilized by that same amount of weight and structure running all the way through the building. It is an incredible feat of engineering.
There are many nooks and crannies and restaurants inside this place that you have to explore also.
I�ve done several senior portrait sessions throughout the Guthrie. The light is fantastic, the colors and explosive and wonderful so just explore and see everything you can see here.
Then of course there�s the breathtaking yellow room. Again the city scape views are incredible but this yellow hue in the room, while it makes photography challenging sometimes, it also makes for mind blowing effects on your images. I�ve done senior high school sessions up here and family portrait sessions here. I have had to balance the yellow color but the brushed metal on the walls has such a wonderful texture for portraits and it is great for all kinds of interesting effects.
