Having shot a lot of live Arts performances for the NY Times and AP my favorite subjects were always Dance and Dancers. While capturing live shows is great (and really sharpens your skills in timing and capturing ‘the’ moment), it was always a bit frustrating not having control of the choreography and lighting (as well as not being able to repeat a move until the timing of the photo was perfect). That is why I have been doing more and more planned shoots- both outdoors on location and with our cold Winters turning towards the Studio. Photography for me has always been about the light (and shadow) – and the control that strobes give me allows me to create a more theatrical and dramatic image – perfect for dance!
