Working with dancers is a dream. I love watching how they can move and create shapes with just their body. Taking images of their craft gives me a sense of pride knowing that I am capturing something that only lasts a split second in time and I am preserving that emotion and feeling forever.
During the pandemic I decided to hone my film making craft and started making short portrait films of my children, their distance learning days of the pandemic, other peoples children, and life events, like buying a new home.
A few months ago, I decided to make a short dance film. I contacted Shea (whom I had already shot before) and thank goodness she said yes! This was her first time choreographing a full song, but I wouldn’t have guessed it. Her professionalism and work ethic are astounding and I am so happy that we made something that we could be proud of.
It’s pretty cool to see a vision become a reality.
…And then of course I wouldn’t let her go without getting some still images!
I will be shooting again at this location, schedule your session for images like these.
