Dance Photos with Laura

Are we humans, or are we dancers?

I had previously shot Laura before for her dance portfolio but I wasn't too satisfied with the end photos (I'm glad she got some use out of them, though!)  We decided to arrange another round of photos with some more dramatic lighting with some help from my best friend/her boyfriend, Michael Loder.

We decided to hit up an open parking lot near sundown with 2 flashes, with 2 main looks.  I'm really excited to see Laura evolve in her dancing abilities and for Mike to enter Kwantlen for fashion design!  More collaborations!

Gear used:

  • Nikon D700
  • Nikon 24-70 2.8
  • 2x SB-700s with 24" softbox & white umbrella
