Dance Photography for
Virginia’s Movement Artists
At Andrew Bowen Studios, dancers from the Blue Ridge to Virginia Beach and up through Richmond and Northern Virginia find a space where their hard work and artistry are honored through exceptional dance photography. Here, your dance photography session isn’t rushed or superficial: it’s a Creative Dance Retreat guided by an accredited dance photographer dedicated to helping you create images as polished and powerful as your performances.
Creative retreats for ballet, contemporary & competitive dancers.
Not Just a Photoshoot. A Creative Dance Retreat.
Virginia dancers bring exceptional talent and discipline to their art. However, when it comes their dance photography, too many photoshoots are rushed, leaving you with images that don’t match your precision, passion, or artistry.
You deserve a creative experience that’s intentional, empowering, and uniquely yours. At Andrew Bowen Studios, you’ll have the freedom to explore, the time to refine, and coaching that reveals your technique and authenticity in every frame.
Welcome to your Creative Dance Retreat—where your artistry is honored, your technique respected, and your authenticity celebrated.

What Sets Andrew Bowen Studios Apart?
Many photographers want to take photos of dancers, but few have the skills to ensure you feel seen, heard, and authentically represented. Here, you’ll have the time and freedom to truly dance, along with expert coaching from an accredited master dance photographer dedicated to crafting images that are unmistakably and uniquely you.

“Your photo studio is a safe place to create art without judgment. You really do produce so much more than the photographs seen online. We are grateful you are part of my dancer’s journey. When I see those photos… I can feel her heart. You have a gift for capturing her essence.” —Jennifer (parent)
