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

Like many dance studios, they were deeply impacted by the pandemic. They didn’t perform a traditional recital this year but still wanted to capture the extreme talents of all the dancers
I normally don’t have the pleasure of photographing them. They’re regular photographer took ill and I was glad they reached out to me and I was available!
They are all extremely talented dancers and I was honored to be able to photograph them. It would have been nice to photograph them with studio lights but given the pandemic, they requested only dance studio images.
Know someone who can benefit from dance photography? I offer the following types of dance photography:
Formal dance portraits (recital or personal/groups)
For all my dancers out there I highly recommend this interview with Ashley Bouder. This was a Zoom session I participated in with on Friday. Has I known in advance how much Ashley was going to share, I would have shared the invite with all the dance school and dance teachers that are clients of mine.
Ashley Bouder is a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet and is the founder of the Ashley Bouder Project. She sat down with Pas de Deux on April 17, 2020, to talk about the Coronavirus quarantine and life as a professional dancer. She discusses dealing with injuries and what it’s like to be a principal dancer, and how to conduct yourself at auditions. The video is an hour long.
Over 100 dancers and costumes photographed in day one and more on the way today! The kids look great in their costumes and can’t wait for their recital in a few weeks!
My youngest was dancing in her first college dance recital. They didn’t allow photographs during the recital but I was taken by how nice the red curtain looked before the show started!
I grabbed a quick cell phone photo of my youngest as she was on the way out of the door. Being a dorky photographer I noticed the nice catch lights in her eye and needed a picture. She’s on her way to a tech dance rehearsal.
