stuny Posted September 28, 2024 Share #3 Posted September 28, 2024 Unfortunately, I only have access to dance at the actual performances, and they always announce that photography and videography is prohibited. As a very big however, on Thursday we went to the Whitney Museum of American Art for both a celebration exhibit of Alvin Ailey's life, and a live performance from 12 members of his troupe. That's no doubt more information than you want, but it explains my images below: One from the floor with the exhibit, and one outside the museum's restaurant. Welcome, dear visitor!

LocalHero1953 Posted September 28, 2024 Author Share #4 Posted September 28, 2024 (edited) I agree it’s difficult to get opportunities to photograph dancers in a way that makes sense in a photograph, and rehearsals and performances don’t often work. Looking at well known dance photographers (Gjion Mili, Barbara Morgan), most of theirs were staged and lit for photography. I recently bought a facsimile of Alexei Brodivitch’s book ‘Ballet’, which is an alternative look: much of it behind the scenes and at rehearsals, but in monochrome and with long exposure (1/5 sec) that creates impressionistic images, and concentrate on the figure while removing attention from the background.

LocalHero1953 Posted September 28, 2024 Author Share #5 Posted September 28, 2024 (edited) I've been privileged to form a connection with the university dance society and their dance competition team. These were taken at a session organised for creating publicity photography (to recruit freshers). Although there was no additional lighting, the strong room lighting and white walls helped. Each of these was the result of numerous retakes, not for photographic reasons, but because they are perfectionists. SL2-S + 24-90. Welcome, dear visitor!
