Dance photography is about more than freezing motion — it’s about understanding movement. • Shoot the peak — The strongest images happen at full extension, not mid-transition. • Follow the rhythm — Let the music guide your timing instead of reacting late. • Frame the lines — Clean arm and leg lines create powerful, intentional images. • Watch the face — Emotion sells the photo just as much as technique. • Anticipate endings — Choreography has punctuation. Be ready for the final hit. • Control shutter — Too fast kills motion, too slow gets messy. Be intentional with it. • Respect spacing — Give dancers room to breathe in the frame. • Mind the background — A clean background keeps focus on the movement. • Stay low & wide — Low angles add power and drama to jumps and turns. • Tell the story — Every routine has a beginning, middle, and end. Capture all of it. POV from behind the lens — where movement becomes moments. 📸🩰 #DancePhotography #BehindTheLens #PhotographyTips
