p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Some first shots of dancers in my new studio


Congratulations to friscoron for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 6 votes - View Previous Winners



Pretty nice that I have so many permanent setups now. Can move from white to black to reclaimed wood backdrop. Plus, we have a 12-foot trampoline now that I know my dancers, cheerleaders, and gymnasts are going to love.

Here are some shots.

1. One thing I really like is that I have lights set up overhead. On the black background it's gridded. This is lit with gridded softboxes on each side.

2. All-white backdrop with a cyc wall. Love the look of this.

3. This dancer is bouncing on my trampoline. When we did this leap on the dance floor, she was able to hit 180 degrees with her legs, but you can see she's over-extending here on the trampoline. I'm pretty happy about that.

4. So far, my reclaimed wood backdrop has been very popular. This girl is killing it here.

Am I incorrect, or am I noticing some subtle differences? Not that anything you put out before wasn't up to par, not by any means. I think mainly I'm seeing some improved separation with the backgrounds in both DOF and lighting. Either way, this is your strongest set, IMO.

Having the space to create these sets with lights that can be left in place (particularly the overheads) exponentially broadens the platform for creativity. I'm so happy for you, Ron. No more constrained setups, floors and backdrops that don't need seam blending; basically blank canvases upon which to present your dancers any way you and the dancer(s) want; it's all there for you. Congratulations again.

That one set a new record for most likes on my IG account. Beat the old record by almost 50%.

Thanks! I would agree. I think it has a lot to do with the setup I have now. All that makes dance photography (and all other types) sooooo much easier.

Thanks, Steve! It makes life so much easier that I don't have to break down and build up the set depending on if my clients want a white or black background, or the reclaimed wood or whatever. With all your travels, you ever come to Chicago, I hope you can come by!

They're all really great images, but I keep going back to #1. The slight back lighting (gridded stripboxes?) and pose provide a complete and very consistent outline of her arms and legs. Perfect positioning of the shot!

Thanks so much! Yes, gridded strip boxes at the sides of her, and slightly back. Then I have a gridded light from above her.
