I have been looking forward to the dance portion of Erin’s senior portraits since she became my assistant when she was a Sophomore ! She’s been dancing since she was three so there was no question about it being a part of her session. I couldn’t wait until the fall, so I had her come to my studio last week. I really wanted to capture some dramatic photos of her so I tried out a new lighting technique…I am in LOVE with the results!
As soon as I started editing the photos, I knew they had to be black & white! The lighting and Erin’s dance costumes just called out for it! I also think by making them black and white, it really adds some mystery to the photos. I also love how Erin’s eyes just pop out of the photos!
We’ll be taking dance photos again outside when it cools down and I plan on using the Ballerina Project for some inspiration. If you haven’t heard of it, definitely have a look. The photos and dancers are totally amazing! Thanks for a fantastic afternoon Erin, I’m already looking forward to next time!! Also big thanks to Tyler for her amazing make-up job!!
