I
have taken countless pictures with mainstream poses. I could say that
I am a little bit bored with sweet and calm poses. As a photographer,
I want to challenge myself. It is necessary to explore so many
different poses and styles. Otherwise, my photography skill
will be the same. There would not be any progress. Therefore, I do
not want to limit myself. I wanted to test my ability in taking
shots. This time, I have a dancer as the main object of my photo
shoot. There are many interesting aspects of this picture to share. I
am pleased that I have a nice picture of the dancer.
Move and Shine
This
photo shoot is unique. I do not have to arrange the angle or the
position of the model. Usually, I give the examples to the model. In
the other time, I ask the model to fit with the theme of the photo
shoot. However, it did not happen in this photo session. The one that
had to arrange the best position was I! Yes, I had to catch the
movement of the dancer. Therefore, I used all my photography
skills to create great pictures. In addition, I still had to think
about the artistic side. I wanted to have an energetic picture
without forgetting the artsy aspects.
I
did not choose a dance studio as the main location. I wanted
something unique and natural. In my opinion, dancing should be a free
activity. This piece of art flows like the river. We can dance
anywhere we want. This is the spirit of a modern society. There are
no boundaries when it comes to art. This message should be delivered
perfectly. Therefore, I choose an empty garage for the location. The
stone wall and the grey floor gave the urban look. They were modest.
However, they have the modern accents that I wanted to show in the
picture.
This photo shoot was very fast. It was because I did not take part in
the movement of the dancer. I let her do the dance moves. While the
model was moving and dancing, I tried my best to find the best shots.
Suddenly, I caught a ballet like movement. The dancer was like a swan
emerged from the lake. Her movement was smooth but powerful. Her
hands moved gracefully. Meanwhile, her body bent and made a curve.
This pose showed the flexibility of her body. Furthermore, I love the
facial expression of the dancer. She enjoyed dancing and she did not
shy at all to show it to the world.
