Location
I took advantage of an invitation from a friend to shoot a dance competition.Time
This photo was taken indoors, on-stage, in the afternoonLighting
The stage provided great lighting, so there was no special setup done by myself.Equipment
Before I upgraded to my Nikon D500, I was shooting with Olympus E-5 when I captured this shot. This was the last pro full-sized DSLR Olympus manufactured. Honestly it wasn’t the best camera for this job, but I made it work.Inspiration
Being a former ballet dancer of 10 years, I took advantage of an invitation from a friend to shoot a dance competition, combining my 2 passions…dance and photography.Editing
This image was direct from camera. No post processing was performed.In my camera bag
These days, I always keep my Nikon D500 and D7200 as a backup. My 2.8 Sigma lens’, both 24-70, and 70-200mm. Don’t leave home without my SB5000 speedlight, and a carbon fiber monopod. These are the basics for me.Feedback
The best way to capture an image like this is to have a history in the industry. Being a dancer myself, I could anticipate timing and pose in order to capture arms, hands, legs, and feet at the optimal extension. So timing is everything!
