Shooting a dance recital on-the-fly can be really challenging for many reasons.

Photographing stage lighting (particularly if they’re LEDs with heavily saturated colours such as red and blue) from a darkened theatre can wreak havoc with the average digital sensor. And forget using that flash as that’s a wonderful way to endanger the dancers and make the dance studio owners very unhappy!

Trying to keep up with dancers that are moving in many different directions at once for dance choreography you may never have seen unless you happened to be at the dress rehearsal can be a workout to rival the action on stage!

The huge reward is when you see the beautiful images of the dancers leaping and doing amazing acrobatic tricks as well as the facial expressions during the dance that are the truest emotional view of her soul you’ll ever know.

If you’ve got the dancers and the venue, we’ve got the camera and the experience to make their recital photos come alive! 🙂
