Haupt, a graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo, has been documenting the Buffalo arts scene since 1976. During that time she has worked for, or with, some of the most notable institutions in Buffalo, including the Irish Classical Theatre, Studio Arena Theater, the Kavinoky Theatre, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Theatre of Youth, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and the State University of New York at Buffalo. In addition to her specialty of theater photography, Irene Haupt has also devoted much of her career to the photography of musicians and musical events, especially the contemporary music scene in Buffalo. A broader representation of Irene Haupt's photographs of musical activities in Buffalo are also available online in the Irene Haupt Photographs of Musicians in Buffalo.
Influenced by writers who layer a lifetime into one day, and composers who layer sounds and rhythms into one bar, I try to express the same compression of time and experience, an assemblage of multiple images creating an elusively unpredictable combination which suggests a more complex reality.
