Theatre and Dance Photography is not limited to end performances on stage. Workshops, contemporary dance related education and training events, rehearsals, full stage productions, complete production documentation and other dance related areas are covered.
As well as the usual ticket, programme and project documentation side of the photography, there is also the Press and PR production and prepartion of photographs.
Documenting programs and workshops is an ideal way to show current and potential sponsors the charting and progress of a project.
The slideshow above details some recent examples of working with contemporary dance projects and programmes, in both a documentary and pr way.
Recently I have staged an exhibition of Dance Photography in the Ulster Hall for Dance United Northern Ireland's international seminar. This has proved invaluable to assessors and raising the profile of Dance within education.
All photography unless requested is documented in a 'fly on the wall' style where little or no interaction takes place between the photographer and the performers with little distraction to the on stage choreography and schedules. This allows the flow of the pieces to continue and the dancers to retain focus.
Full stage reconstructions and studio representations can be arranged if required.
