RE-IMAGINE DANCE PHOTOGRAPHY

Creative Photography for Dancers

The Creative Dance Retreat

Imagine a supportive and safe space where photography is used as a creative medium for dancers to explore their artistry through light, texture, and shape.

You are the primary artist at the Creative Dance Retreat. Your time here is about your art and telling your story your way. Collaborative dialog, artistic vision, mutual respect, technical ability, and fun combine to create an exceptional experience and exceptional results.

Welcome to an experience that is so much more than just a photoshoot.

YOUR CREATIVE DANCE RETREAT

The Creative Dance Retreat is so much more than a photoshoot. You are part of a creative dancer-centric partnership that will redefine your expectations for dance photography.

Be Fearless…

Your authenticity, inspiration, and emotion are the essence that brings a photograph to life. Experiment with new looks and ideas, knowing that images that don’t meet your artistic standards will NEVER be seen by anyone else.

Creative Partnership…

We are in this together. I am a certified master photographer trained in dance photography. I’ll be there with ideas, corrections, and adjustments to help you realize your artistic vision. Together, we will make it real.

Creating the image is about understanding the movement, and timing the shot to get the moment. Thank you to Billy Hawkins for this amazing moment.

Take Your Time…

Time is a key aspect of the Creative Dance Retreat. Most retreats are either half-day or full-day experiences.

Having the time to explore something new, or view it differently is integral to creativity.

I encourage you to try a new idea or two, amaze yourself, and create dance photography that reminds you of everything you love about dance.

ART THAT IS UNIQUELY YOU

In every image we explore, my goal for you is to strive for your best artistry and succeed spectacularly.

No two retreats are ever the same. Our combined energies are unique for that day. When you return, we will have evolved, and we will see things in new ways.
