This excerpt from a longer behind-the-scenes documentary records photographer Matthew Rolston's personal journey through the creation of the series Art People: The Pageant Portraits. Filmed during the summer 2016 production of Laguna's Pageant of the Masters, it takes the viewer into the world of the Pageant, revealing Rolston’s process, as cast members, wardrobe volunteers, and makeup artists prepare for the unveiling of their work onstage.

Rolston and his team worked over a period of several weeks from a makeshift studio set up backstage, capturing individual portraits of fully costumed and made-up members of the Pageant’s volunteer cast during final dress rehearsals, at intermissions, and after the conclusion of each evening’s show.
