DANCE DEPARTMENT - Friday September 29, 2023
Each dancer will receive individual dance images in one outfit & headshots in a separate outfit. We will invoice each individual for payment.
We will Photograph all the HEADSHOTS first and then move into the DANCE shots. Please come prepared for the shoot with several ideas and dance poses in mind. We will work with each dancer to achieve the best looks!
PROCESS
[ WHAT TO WEAR for HEADSHOTS]
For headshots we recommend solid colors.
Avoid florals, or other heavy patterns. No white or any neon colors, they wash out the skin and blowout in photos for headshots. Avoid Dance Tops/Leotards and NO mesh fabrics (You can wear your leo for Dance Shots).
Choose a more form-fitting top, as opposed to a looser fitting top. Shots will be from the waist up, but please consider the waistline of the pants you choose to wear. Choose an option that lays flat and does not bunch.
Please steam your clothing and lint roll you are looking your best!
No extra jewelry but small earrings are ok.
[ WHAT TO WEAR for DANCE SHOTS]
For dance shots select a form fitting outfit or leotard that will read well under the mood lighting. Colors are great here as well, or a good neutral color. Avoid black as we are already shooting in a fairly dark scenario.
Headshots and Individual shots will be taken with time in between, allowing the artist time to get ready for the next “look”.
[ HAIR & MAKEUP]
Come hair and makeup ready. Think light, fresh and natural make-up!
Avoid heavy eye make-up, no stage makeup. You may want to add a little extra for the dance shots since they are full body.
When choosing a lip color, avoid shiny lip glosses since the hair will stick. Choose a matte/silky lipstick, this is more flattering for photos. For the younger dancers, a good natural lip is best.
Please take the time to put together a captivating look. This will help us create a successful shoot with timeless photos.
[DELIVERY]
You will receive all your digital images we shoot in each look.
All images will be delivered to your email address. Please allow 4 weeks for processing, editing, upload, and delivery to your inbox. All images are full resolution and you will have full rights to the images, we will supply a copyright letter in your inbox.
