HEADSHOT & DANCE SHOT
Each individual will receive several images of each outfit.
HEADSHOTS - Will photograph 1st
DANCE SHOTS - Will photograph next.
We will schedule 5 dancers per hour allowing you time to change from Headshot to Dance Shot.
HAIR
Please come hair ready.
If you choose to curl your hair, please curl away from the face. Pull the curler away from your face and roll back. This allows the hair to flow nicely when we add the fan.
We will have a fan available during the shoot to open the hair and give you that Beyonce moment.
Please bring a brush and some extra spray so we can adjust as soon as you are in front of the camera.
Please have fly-aways tamed especially on top and sides of hair.
MAKE-UP
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.
WARDROBE
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.
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 NO see thru Mesh Fabrics, they leave a halo on the skin, and do not re-touch great.
Please steam your clothing and lint roll to ensure you are looking your best!
No extra jewelry but small earrings are ok.
DANCE SHOTS - Clothing can be anything you dream for this look. Bright Colors, white, and tans work well. Avoid Florals or heavy patterns.
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.
BACKGROUNDS
HEADSHOTS - We will have a few different headshot background colors to choose from: PINK, BLUE, PURPLE, TAN.
DANCE SHOTS - All the dancers will shoot on a WHITE CYC that we will light and make MOODY. So it will end up looking like the images shown above.
IDEAS
Please come prepared for the shoot with several ideas and poses in mind, ideally 4-6 poses works great! We will work with each dancer to achieve the best looks / angles.
The more prepared you are the better. Please work on some ideas before the shoot so you feel positive about what we are going to capture.
Think about what you are strongest at: Legs, Jumps, Lunges, Floor poses, Hair Flying, you name it - we can capture it.
Our team of photographers all have an extensive dance background, so we will direct you for the best outcome.
Headshots and Dance-shots will be taken with a few minutes in between, allowing the dancer time to get ready for the next “look”.
