Dance Portfolio & Promo Photography

Nowadays, as a dancer, it is crucially important to have set of professional images that not only showcase your incredible talent but also present your character, personality and versatility. Why's that? Well, more often than not, a director, employer or faculty head will see your photos before they decide whether or not they want to see you. So whether you're applying for a vocational dance course or looking to make the most of every professional opportunity and build an amazing dance career it’s vitally important that your photos make the right first impression.I will tailor your dance portfolio shoot around your needs. For example your shoot could include include headshots, bodyshots, posed and movement shots or something a little different if you wish. Studio and location shoots available. See below for more info.

Dance Performance and Event Coverage

I have covered lots of dance shows, competitions and events of all sizes. Over the years, I have seen how much goes into putting a show together - yikes! So the very last thing I would want is to add to the stress or create any unnecessary complications. I offer flexible show coverage. This includes dancer portrait photos in costume (individual and group). At a time and location that suits you. Along with 'action' photos and video coverage of the dress rehearsal or performance. I take the same approach for other dance events. Summer schools, workshops, competitions and so on. There's usually no cost to the school, show or dance event organizer. Also, you won't need to get involved in selling or delivering photos - I will handle all that! With my password protected online photo galleries. Along with SSL secure online ordering and first class direct delivery.

location and studio dance photo shoots

No two shoots are the same as I always try to tailor each one to the dancer’s age, style, experience and abilities. I will bring a range of creative ideas to each dance portrait photo shoot. But I also think that the best photo shoots are collaborative so I always encourage the dancer to bring their own creative ideas and concepts.

I am a professional dance photographer but not a trained dancer myself (unless you count learning the macarena lol). That said, I have developed an eye for what looks right on camera. You will be able to view the photos as they are taken and make any adjustments you feel are necessary. However, if you would like to bring someone along to assist with this (for example a teacher, tutor or fellow professional) that would be absolutely fine by me.

Location DANCE photo shoots

Location photo shoots can provide fabulous opportunities to create unique, eye catching images. Indoors or outdoors (or a bit of both).

An indoor shoot can be at your home, workplace or studio for instance. Need a particular look? You could rent a space to have your shoot. An Airbnb for example. Or choose an outdoor location. A town or cityscape, a park, garden or beach. Or make the most of the Scottish countryside. There are so many beautiful places to choose from. Whatever you fancy. Somewhere with free public access; or that you own; have rented; or arranged access with the owner.

Get in touch if you need help deciding. I can arrange your shoot somewhere extra special if you prefer. An extra charge will apply. Please get in touch for options and more details.

studio photo shoot options

If you prefer the studio look, with a plain background and studio lighting I can bring my pop-up studio to you. Of course, you will need to have a suitable indoor space available.

Alternatively, I can arrange your shoot at a professional photo studio in Edinburgh, Glasgow or West Lothian. There is an extra charge for this. See ‘optional extras’ in the price info below.
