For Collaborators

Each photo session is custom designed for you; we’ll meet (in person or electronically) to determine the overall concepts and objectives; then go over what clothing, props, make-up, hair, poses, dances, etc. we need to make it happen. Our goal is to create great images of you and have a lot of fun doing it! We do this by learning a little about you and expressing your personality as much as possible. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable in front of the camera, guiding you through different poses to get that “perfect” image!

We’ll collaborate at the planning session to suggest a wardrobe base on the session concepts and objectives.

We like to start with a several structured poses and portraits, working and adapting toward more creative poses and lighting as the session progresses. We have a full team of assistants and a professional poser to ensure your technique and expression show your technique and energy in the best possible way. The result is a session of creative fun, with a stellar set of images that show off your beauty and ability!

We don’t give general guidance on hair and make-up because it varies according to the session concept and objectives. We’ll cover this in the planning session, and make sure you have a clear plan for the day of your session.

We offer sessions in our photo studio, in your dance studio, on location (indoors and/or outdoors), Live classroom, and performance photography:

In our Photo Studio:
We offer a full state-of-art photography studio custom designed with dancers in mind: A sprung marley floor, dressing rooms, and warm-up areas.  This offers the best of both types of studio: high ceilings, large background, professional lighting and camera equipment in a dance studio environment.

Dance Studio:
We come to your studio, and set up our portable equipment, and work within the resources the space provides.

Location:
We meet at a predetermined location and create environmental images that integrate the natural beauty of the area and your energy, and enthusiasm. We need to carefully choose the time and location for the best access, light and weather.

Live Classroom:
We come to the class you are taking (or teaching) and illustrate the behind-the-scenes discipline, effort, and preparation essential to your commitment to dance.

Performance:
We will capture your dress rehearsal and/or performances; we need to secure approval of the venue, and obtain all rules and restrictions they may have.

We don’t normally offer rate reductions, but do realize the cost can sometimes be prohibitive; we are open to working out a service-for-fee arrangement (model releases to include fine-art usage, stock licensing, etc.) that can reduce your out-of-pocket cost; just let us know if you’re interested, and we’ll discuss it.

High-quality professional images are essential to self-promotion; dance, audition, and head shots all help to set you apart and showcase your talent and abilities.
