Dance Photography with Ashley

My first career was in classical ballet, so I love working with dancers. Not only do they express physicality in a unique way, they also understand the use of line, space, and visual aesthetics.

Ashley is a Denver-based dancer. She is classically trained, but performs modern dance with the Davis Contemporary Dance Company and aerial arts with In the Wings. You can follow her on Instagram. She’s incredibly expressive and I love working with her!

I’ll have her bring her pointe shoes and a tutu, but we’ll probably shoot more contemporary images that focus on the energy of line and movement.

We'll be shooting in the large studio at RAW Photographic Studios with a seamless white cyc wall and flash. I'll provide the lights and a flash trigger and will set up lights for you. We'll do three to four sets and everyone will have a chance to do some one-on-one shooting for each set. No previous experience is required. Bring any ideas you have. Ashley and I can guide you through the process of creating engaging shots.

As always, this will be a supportive, judgment-free environment. Bring your camera, memory card, and a fully charged battery, and that's pretty much all you need. Before you come, learn how to set your shutter speed, aperture, and ISO in manual mode for your camera. If shooting mirrorless, know how to shut off your simulated live view for shooting with flash.

There is a cost of $129 to cover studio rental and model fees. Refunds will only be issued in the event of cancellation. There will be four photographers only. These events always fill up quickly, so register ASAP.
