Last year I was unable to create recital dance portraits for Showbiz Kidz Dance Studio. A few of the dancers contacted me and came to my studio to capture some dance portraits so the year wouldn’t be forgotten.

I was glad Michaela and her Mom reached out to me to capture these images.

Dance Portraits for Claire

Claire is a wonderful young dancer that takes direction well and makes it her own

At first she came out with the adorable costume so I asked her to get into character and this is what she did!

After that, she turned on the cuteness all the way!

Dance Portraits for Shayne

Dance portraits for Shayne

While in Chicago recently I was able to create some dance portraits for Shayne

A very talented dancer that was comfortable in front of the camera.

We even had a chance to create one with her duo partner Joryn

Dance Portraits for Larkin

Dance Portrait Photography

I only had a brief time to create some dance portraits for Larkin but it was worth it. I had an image in my mind of her standing near a window and she did wonderful!

Her friendly demeaner and striking blue eye resulted in working with her being a pleasure

Then we ventured outside to a nearby park.

Dancers in Unusual Locations

Dance Photography

I started a personal project several years titled “photographing dancers in unusual locations.”

Dance portraits for Rebecca and Nata in Chicago Summer 2021

We’re all familiar with dance portraits in a studio or stage. There’s something about dance portraits where you don’t expect them

A busy street bridge in downtown Chicago certainly qualifies. The dancers were never in harms way…

Or how about an early morning with the Chicago skyline as your backdrop…

Speaking of mornings, how about sunrise before the sun rises?

And them once the sun rises, let’s have a little fun with it 🙂

Dance Portraits for Nata

Dance portraits for Nata in Chicago Summer 2021

Nata is another example of a talented dancer that is very comfortable in front of a camera

I really wish I had more time with her for creating great dance portraits

Nata is also exploring modeling.

A fearless dancer making a location her own. Above seen on top of a bridge in downtown Chicago

Dance Portraits for Rebecca

Dance portraits for Rebecca in Chicago Summer 2021

As a photographer of dance and theater, I can tell pretty fast who is comfortable in front of a camera. Rebecca is one of those dancers.

I had the opportunity to create some dance portraits for Rebecca this Summer

She is experienced beyond her years and was a pleasure to have in front of my camera

Dance portraits for Rebecca in Chicago Summer 2021

One of the many things I love about her is her speed and confidence in making a location her own. The above photograph was on a bridge in downtown Chicago! She made it her own with no hesitation.

Here’s another example of her and Nata on top of a bridge with at least one fan noticing.

I love the leading lines of the trees in this one at a park in downtown Chicago

I have many more great one of Rebecca but I’ll leave you with these.
