Test shots two

Another photo shoot testing with a black flowy dress, thank you to my amazing model shes so good! By the end of it her legs were so tierd, she can work those layers :) I think I am getting hang of the capturing movement, when I get my studio time I will be practicing more lighting techniques to see other effects I can create.

Testing one

Today I've tried out my first bit of movement in dance photography. My model may not be a dancer but she can do some amazing things :)
These are only testing shots of movement, however the area I found I love now its a case of creating a more professional look. I'd like images that have some movements like this is and incorporating different floaty materials and floaty clothing creating a gravity less place.

This shoot was so fun to do, and I can't wait to try more especially in the studio.

Oh my I am bad at remembering to blog... Well now I'm back. It is now my last semester at University and I am so scared! Trying to push all the questions to the back of my mind to complete my final major project, I guess the 'what if's are going to have to be put on hold to answer as I don't have a clue about after University just yet.

Since beginning my last year thinking about what I want to show for my end of year show, I have been fascinated by dance photography. I don't tend to take photographs of movement so I thought this would be a challenge but if I accomplish what I set out to achieve, I will be a very happy woman. In the library I picked up a book by Lois Greenfield, 'Airborne', and I loved the intensity and precision the dancers put into their movements.

Although I've been told it could be hard as a lot of dance photographers have done dance themselves, and I haven't danced for about 20 years, and the other photographers could know precision of the dancers moves, I will work hard and try envision what the image outcomes will be.
