Hello fellow photographers, we are organizing a new session of our workshop dedicated to photograph ballet.
To maximize the learning experience, we have decided to set a bar of maximum 10 participants of 2 and half hours sessions.
I will direct the workshop as a photography class, and as such, I expect attendees to take notes.The first goal that I set for my series of workshops is to achieve quality, sò do not expect to shoot hundreds of pictures, but to capture strong and beautiful images.
Recommended equipment: any dslr with lenses 55mm and over, possibly a 2.8 aperture but not required. A mirror-less camera can work but not recommendable it for this kind of photography.(Please keep in mind that I use canon and as such I will have my strobe flash with remote trigger if needed but they might not work correctly on different camera brand).
This session would be held on Theodore Roosevelt Island, set up as a one-on-one (dancer – photographer) photo shoot.
During the workshop, I will explain:
1) The “modus operandi” on how to successfully collaborate with a dancer, how to direct and pose ballet, and expectations of both parties. 2) Camera settings, composition, perspective, use of natural light, reflectors, and portable flash.
An integral part of the learning process is to understand how to select pictures. I will set up a Google Drive folder where you will have the option of sharing your work. My assistent and I will provide feedback to solidify understanding of the material we cover.
The first objective will be to build a strong portfolio, knowledge, and skills to work with real, professional dancers—and to conduct successful outdoor photo shoots.
The final objective of the 3-session workshop will be to be independent and apply this knowledge to your own photo shoots.
Our first model will be Anna L Russell. A professional dancer and guest artist, she has modeled for leading photographers in the ballet industry. She is the assistant, stylist, and choreographer for my photo shoots.
Meeting point: TBD
