Reading Dance Magazine’s February 2018 article “The 5 Biggest Mistakes Dancers Make at Photo Shoots” is a great way to prepare for your Gene Schiavone ballet photo shoot. Preparation is key to both photographer and dancer getting the most out of a shoot.
Key Points from the article that stand out to me from Shate’ L. Edwards:
- Explore a photographer’s work before going into a shoot
- Think about the angles and lines that look best on your body, and share your top choices with the photographer before you start shooting.
- If your original ideas aren’t working, use the photographer’s direction to imagine new possibilities. Focus on what is working, and move forward with that.
My detailed Planning Guide was created to help dancers feel comfortable and prepared for their ballet photography session so together we can celebrate their passion and talent with memorable images.
