Dance Portrait Session | Long Island Photographer

Dance and photography are such a perfect fit, and dance portraits are one of my favorite types of session. While working collaboratively with a dancer, the images we work to create together will show the grace, discipline, and athleticism of the artist.  

Dance shoots can happen anywhere, and as a photographer on Long Island, there are many beautiful locations at our disposal. From city streets to the beach to some places with gorgeous greenery, there are many backdrops we can choose to make beautiful images that showcase the artistry of the athlete. 

Often times, dance sessions mix a variety type of imagery - from strong portraits to capturing the dancer mid-air. Ultimately, we will create a portfolio of images that highlights the dancer as an artist and an athlete. 

This session took place in a small, local park. He wanted these images just for fun. After we finished up a headshot session, he asked if I would mind if we took a couple of images of him in motion. No problem at all - and this happened to coincide with sunset!

This is a college student who is about to enter his senior year. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to slowly take a walk around a local pond while we talked about what images he wanted and how we can best create them. 

In the end, he had some great images from an impromptu session.
