Dance Photography for the Carolinas and Beyond
Let Your Creativity Take Center Stage
Welcome to a space where dance photography becomes a creative retreat—a supportive and empowering space for you to express yourself and grow as an artist. Explore your artistry, refine your technique, and create images that feel authentic, powerful, and unmistakably you.
That’s why contemporary dancers and ballet artists from NC, SC, VA, and beyond come to Greensboro.
A creative retreat isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about being seen and supported while creating dance photography that reflects who they are as artists.

Dance Photography Should Feel Authentic and Empowering
Too many times, a photoshoot falls short by feeling rushed, over-posed, or inauthentic. The photos may be well done, but they’re not reflective of who you are as a creative. You deserve images that fill you with pride and feel unmistakably you.

You don’t need someone posing you into perfection. You deserve a photographer who works with your creative process, understands the nuances of dance photography, and creates a supportive space that allows you to express yourself.
“What stands out most is how he encouraged me to be an artist, giving me the freedom to experiment with different poses and express myself authentically.”

Where Technique Meets Authenticity
Having the time, support, and space you need results in stunning dance photography.
1. Be Yourself
Embrace your creative process. There is no judgment, and no failure. This is your space to say ‘I want’ instead of ‘Can I?’ Be authentic to the dancer you are, and if you want to change things up partway through an idea, just say so!
2. Take Your Time & Have Fun
You have plenty of time to get into the flow of your dance. Along the way, I will help you express your art, fine-tune your technique, and make the necessary adjustments to look your best on camera.
3. Create Stunning Photos
When you dance authentically, are supported technically, and have the time to feel the movement and have fun with it, you will end up with photos that make you truly proud!

It’s More Than Just a Photoshoot…
Imagine a judgment-free space that is fun, supportive, and respects you as an artist. Imagine a place where you never have to apologize for wanting what you want, and you have the time and guidance to get it. Imagine creating dance photos that are visually striking, technically refined, and unmistakably yours.
This is Your Creative Dance Retreat
With time to breathe, trusted guidance, and a studio alive with music, laughter, and (almost) endless snacks, a simple photoshoot becomes your creative retreat.
Whether you arrive with a detailed concept, or just a playlist and a spark of an idea, I’ll work within your creative process. I’ll adapt to your needs—offering guidance when you want it, stepping back when inspiration takes over, and always respecting you as the most important artist in the room.
My goal is simple: nourish your creativity and watch you succeed spectacularly.

An Experience Built Around You
During your creative dance retreat, I will craft photos with you—not just take photos of you.
Retreats are either three or six hours. That may sound like a lot of time, but it goes quickly. You won’t be whacking a leg the whole time!
You will have the time you need. You can explore new ideas, refine arm lines you love, test variations, swap outfits, and even change the whole concept.
Most importantly, you have the time to truly dance.
“I learned a lot from Andrew. Thanks for being FUN. Also, he has the absolute best collections of leotards, skirts, and costumes EVER!”
—Peyton
Meet Andrew
Dance photography should express your best technique and artisty.
My paradigm is simple: Creating meaningful images means respecting your artistic voice, supporting you through your process, allowing time to explore, and committing fully to your success.
You are expressing the totality of your being through dance. Your physical and emotional self. Your experiences. Your dreams. I believe you deserve a dance photography experience that builds confidence and helps you grow as an artist while delivering stunning photographs.
A Photographer for Dancers
You deserve a photographer who understands movement, artistry, and timing—and who knows how to listen. You also need someone who understands the technical challenges unique to translating your three-dimensional sculpture into a two-dimensional photograph that conveys your movement, energy, and technique. I’m here to help you create images that are not just technically excellent, but authentic to your vision.
Creating a Safe Space for You
I believe that educating myself about the challenges you face is every bit as important as photography education. In addition to requesting feedback from every dancer on how to improve your experience, I have taken certification classes about Mental Health for Dancers.
“When I look at that picture, it reminds me of why I dance.”
