Chicago Circus Shoot with Duo Rose

We’ve never done a shoot like this! Circus photography with Duo Rose

We’re so excited to share this next series of images from a recent editorial style photo shoot with Circus performers from MSA & Circus Arts.  Our first post features the married couple, Sylvia and Sam, known in the industry as the Duo Rose. Their routine is so compelling because it’s not only technically breathtaking, with splits, twists, and one armed drops, but also incredibly romantic, ending on a soft note with a gentle kiss.

Sam and Syliva are internationally recognized performers, traveling the World to share their aerial act, even visiting Havana, Cuba, where they were awarded the bronze medal during the 9th International Circus Festival.

Laurie and I are incredibly inspired by movement, so to work with Syliva and Sam, was an absolute treat. The fact that they also happen to love one another, made it even more swoon-worthy.  Laurie and I were a thrilled peanut gallery while taking these pictures.

Check back soon for more from our visit to MSA & Circus Arts!

We couldn’t have done this shoot with out our amazing team, including Makeup Artists, Emily Wolf, Jewelry designer Zurina Ketola, assistant Kelly Feldmiller.
