Photgraphy for Dancers, Gymnists, Martial Artists, Body Builders, Bands, and other Performers
I have had the honor over the past 5-6 months to work with Sarah as she puts her toe in the waters of the modeling world. In this post, I’d like to display some of the photos we made for Sarah’s portfolio. Everyone’s portfolio will vary depending on their strengths and where they’d like to take their career….
Couture photography is quickly becoming one of my favorites. In this series, Sarah models vintage dresses from her own family.

So you want to be a model. Well, there’s a lot more than just looking pretty. A lot of people can do that. You have to be prepared to invest the hard work to become the best!

I really like the opportunity to shoot people who are into sports. I’ve been shooting a series of images for Myia’s modeling comp card and portfolio and have been loving that. I’ll be posting more photos of her as time permits. But that is for another post. Though Myia is an aspiring model, she’s already…

Character is an interesting thing to photograph. It begins with intent of what you wish to portray. From there, you have to decide how far to push or pull the drama. I like to push things so that even when photographing a child, you still see “character”. Now perhaps the character is what you imagine for…

I was originally taken with Katherine’s style when I saw her dance in Evansville Ballet’s Swan Lake production last spring. She was so graceful and the gossamer dress she wore flowed with her gentle movements. When I saw her out of her “Bun Head” I realized what incredible wavy hair she had. And it wasn’t until I…

When I first met John London several years ago, I was amazed at the unique way he sees. Where many photographers probe others for techniques, etc. I found John to be an incredible resource on the philosophy of photography. As you’ll see if you follow the links below to his work, he is simply amazing…

Great job of texturizing this fellow. I’ve done similar work, and I’d like to strive to get a Dragan effect which yields another dimension to this texturing process.
Great shot, and great result with texture!
Thanks Tony. I appreciate your comment!
This is a partial Dragan effect. I used some of my own ideas as well as some techniques that I learned from Andrezej himself a number of years ago.

Re-enactors are a favorite of mine because they embody such character and attention to detail. The key as a photographer is to create the feeling that compliments their persona.

Joshua returned for the 2nd of 3 scheduled shoots. In this shoot, I wanted to play with a black background and do some motion studies. I knew what I wanted to do, but during the setup, I had to use myself as the dancer. Thank goodness no one saw that. It ranked right up…

Another recent priveledge was working with Joshua. This guy loves dance – Ballet, Irish Step, the styles of Martha Graham et. al. Well spoken and dripping with enthusiasm for his craft, he’s like a leaping encyclopedia of dance. In fact a friend of mine recently told me he had never seen anyone so “Leapy”. During our…

Snow and a conflict of schedules has delayed a photo shoot I had been trying to schedule with Sadie and Sasha. So when I was able to schedule Sasha alone, I took it. Here are some images from the shoot with her. I’ll probably add more as time allows. As you can see, Sasha is…

What a performance! Congratulations to all the dancers and people who worked behind the scenes in the 2009 Evansville Dance Theater (EDT) production of the Nutcracker which was the vision of Artistic Director Mark Bush. So far, I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews. And, each performance was received with ecstatic enthusiasm by the audiences. Artistic…

Here are a few images from a recent “play” session with two dancers from this year’s Evansville Dance Theater production of The Nutcracker, Sadie and Brian.
