Thought for the day: On Photographing Ballet Dancers and Composition
This video, 10 Tips for Photographing a Ballet Dancer (6m long) has a number of good suggestions. If possible please view it before reading the rest of this.
The video also made me cringe. Why? Composition errors. Centered frames not centered. Hands cut off. Shadows when important being interfered with by other objects. And more.
You can learn a lot of good methods from this video. And find errors to avoid.
This video, Ballet Photography / Young Dancer Sessions by Gene Schiavone, 7m 23s, is wonderful!
