Great advice! I especially like the tip of having artists check their technique. They may have done everything right, but the angle of say, their hips, pointe, or head might be off. Thank you for this video!

How do you secure the locations for your shoots and how much time do you ask to book for a shoot? AND where do you get all that fabric?
@Hkvisuals6 жыл бұрын
Hi there, it all depends on the location... I never pay for locations because most of the ones I like are too expensive. BUT if my client has the money to rent a studio space or specific location it's up to him and his wallet. I usually send hundreds of emails and calls each week and I sometimes get a positive feedback. Then according to the number of pictures I will make, the type, the number of models I ask for 2 hours and up to 6 depending on the size of the project. For the fabric... I borrow it from performing artists and I also have mine that I simply bought for my shoots ;) Hope it helps!

What about camera and setting, lens....? I was waiting for that
@Hkvisuals5 жыл бұрын
The problem with Camera settings is that every situation is different... Indoors and outdoors, the available light won't be the same... Add to that your personal tastes and effects you want on your final image... I do include now in all my recent videos details, on gear, settings and sometimes light placement...but I doubt it would help you that much since you will never shoot the same model, in the same location with the same gear in the same lighting conditions as me...

I’m just getting started. Do you have any suggestions for somewhat entry level strobes that will work great for dance while I am learning? Could be new or used.
@Hkvisuals4 жыл бұрын
Sorry no, I started with Canon speedlites, and then got the Broncolor SirosL... Try Godox maybe?

Thanks. Been binge watching everything I can.
@arielhernandez65603 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the helpful advice! When you’re trying to focus on a fast-moving dancer, do you use autofocus or do you manually focus on a spot where you know your dancer will end up? Thanks.

Both!

What lens do you recommend for dance photography
@Hkvisuals2 жыл бұрын
I cannot recommend any lenses... it all depends on your shooting style. I personally stay around 24mm to 50mm and occasionally use an 85mm (full frame)
@jheelan5 жыл бұрын
Hi, can you share on how you find dancers ? Do they reach out to you ? Thanks
@Hkvisuals5 жыл бұрын
Recommendation, word of mouth, and yes they do reach out to me now!
@jtorrescr6 жыл бұрын
I will disagree in something here, when photographing dancer I think that dancer skill is the most important.
@Hkvisuals6 жыл бұрын
Yes and... no... If you are a crappy photographer even if you have the best dancer, your photo won't look good... Bad light, bad composition, and bad timing will make a mediocre photo. If you have a bit of experience, and if you know your dancer's strength and weakness you will be able to guide him or her, to help them look their best.
