I wouldn\u2019t want to do a photography session with dancers without some light painting. Having multiple people in the image is always a challenge. Sometimes you have to light paint one subject and ask them to move out of the frame before light painting the other one. It wasn\u2019t the case this time, as I was able to get in the best position to light paint both dancers without the other one getting in the way.<\/p>\n

\"Light
It is easier for my subjects to stand still while I light paint them if they have something to hold on to or an object to lean on. Hence the bar and the chair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Light
In a portrait, I usually like the subject to make eye contact with the viewer, i.e look at the camera. In this case I wanted the image to look like the dancers didn’t know the camera was there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I like the \u201cdancer at the bar\u201d theme and I\u2019m always trying different compositions. It was no different this time.<\/p>\n

\"Light
These kinds of poses can be tricky to frame, depending on the layout of the studio. Nearly all dance studios have mirrors, which is wonderful as I love reflections.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the second photo, I incorporated the curtains by changing my camera angle, for a slightly different look.<\/p>\n

\"Light
Somehow, I like this composition better than the previous one. What do you think?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
