Your Dance Photographer
Andrew Bowen, M.Photog., CPP
My paradigm is simple: Creating meaningful images is about respecting and nurturing your artistic voice, supporting you through your creative process, having the time to make adjustments and explore variations, and being fully dedicated to ensuring your success.

Why Dance Photography?
I started my business photographing families and seniors. When I had my first senior who wanted a few dance photos, I quickly learned that getting a pose to look good was not so easy. So I embarked on years of mentoring and learning to develop the skills necessary to professionally and confidently work with dancers.
Along the way, I listened to dancers share stories of successes, examples of positive mentorship, and far too many stories of horrible experiences.
My philosophy is a reflection of everything I have learned from listening to the dancers who have shared their stories and art with me.
A Dance Photographer is a Specialist
Not every photographer has the right technical skills or mindset to work with dancers. As a parent and girl-dad, I experienced the importance of creating an environment that empowers you to make decisions and respects your individual artistry.
There may be challenging moments while working your technique, but there are also lots of laughs along the way. At the end of the day, you’ll have exquisite photographs and that sense of pride only a dancer knows when they walk off stage from their best performance.
My Promise to You
I believe that I have a huge responsibility to every artist who comes to my studio. I respect and appreciate the vulnerability of working in front of a camera. I promise that I will support you, encourage you, guide you, coach you, laugh with you, and inspire you along your path to creating the photographs that make you proud of your accomplishments, and excited for your future.
My Credentials
At the end of the day, what matters is the experience and photography that I deliver. Like you, I’m committed to a process of continuous improvement and life-long learning.
In 2024, I earned my Master of Portrait Photography Degree from Master Photographers International, as well as a Bronze Award and Honorable mention from the prestigious Prix de la Photographie, Paris. Click below to see more awards, gallery shows, and achievements.
