Location
This is taken in our small studio on Spring Grove Ave, Cincinnati Ohio.Time
It was around 4- 5pm as you can see the golden ray of light coming through the window. I love the golden hour!Lighting
It is all natural light at the golden hour. I also love to shoot at the window for perfect rim lights and dramatic shadows.Equipment
I had my Nikon D5 with Nikkor 35mm 1.4 lens. No flash, no tripod. It only camera and a dancer.Inspiration
My client Marlyna wanted to create something special for senior portrait. She is an amazing ballet dancer and it is the perfect for her and her family to remember as her last childhood.Editing
Not really. I shoot so I will not have to edit too much. In this photo, exposure and framing were perfect!In my camera bag
I always have my Nikons, 35mm, 85mm, ND filters, Profoto OFC, extra batteries and memory cards, sewing kits ( for dancer's costumes), stuffed animals ( for kiddos), iPad, and Cam Ranger!Feedback
Know your passion. For me, it is dance photography. I love to capture the beauty in dancers. Especially young aspiring dancers who still working on building their confidence. The moment they see their portraits and get happy what they see, is just awesome. I see their sparkles of confidence and self-esteem explode. Find out why you love your photography. Find yourself in your photography.
