Classic Dance photos

[jhoeft]

I had a chance to try out a new studio here in Sacramento awhile ago. I decided to shoot some classic dance photos, something I had not yet tried. I invited Kylie and April to be our models and had a great time. I had worked with both before so it was easy to get started. The studio had a "cyc" wall since it is used primarily for video. It was nice not having to setup a backdrop but also proved troublesome in post processing as it was less than perfectly white or clean and smooth. In some of the photos I removed the background altogeather and dropped in a gradient and shadow. I am interested in any comments, feedback, or suggestion for improvements:

April















Kylie








I had a good time shooting and learned a few thing to improve on for the next time. April is also one of the models scheduled for the "Posing" workshop on April 18th in Sacramento.

VERY NICE SERIES!!! I like your posing and lighting and especially the ones with the darker background and more subtle lighting. Good job on all.
