TITLE: Provocative

Kleine Nachtrevue is an intimate, erotic, dark, and decadent German cabaret. Shows consist of short song or dance numbers sprinkled with playful nudity and whimsical costumes.

From the 1600’s, burlesque shows have provided a variety of entertainment around the globe. This image emphasizes the alluring, sexually exciting, and tantalizing performance of a burlesque dancer.

For the last 10 years, I have been photographing unique people and places in the world. This series ‘Kleine Nachtrevue’ combines my fascination with performing art and burlesque and the expressive potential of contemporary photography.

Teri's series Crossing Cheshire Bridge was published in South x Southeast and L’Oeil de la Photographie magazines in 2016. In January 2017, Teri was live on NPR's City Lights with Lois Reitzes to discuss her decade long project on Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta, Georgia. Currently, Teri has a solo exhibition with 35 images at the Showcase School of Photography in Atlanta, Georgia.

Teri was selected as a finalist for the 8th Julia Margaret Cameron Award curated by Laura Noble, Director of L A Noble Gallery in London. Several of Teri's images were exhibited during the 2016 Berlin Biennale.

In September, 2016, Teri’s image “Peacock” was selected for inclusion in the MOCA GA permanent collection. This was curated by street photographer Chip Simone.

Teri earned an EMBA degree from Baldwin-Wallace University. She served in the U.S. Air Force during the cold war in Berlin. She recently retired from a Fortune 50 company as a Multi-Media Development Manager. < BACK TO GALLERY
