Dance Photography In Lancashire

We did some great dance photography portraits this weekend in Wigan, Lancashire at Tina's Dance Studios, while the ballet exams were taking place.

The studio we set up was quite a large one as we had use of one of the spare dance studios so we were able to set up with a really big backdrop and a couple of strobes with some big light modifiers to create some beautiful soft light.

There were lots of juniors undertaking their ballet exams and we got some great shots while all their moves were still fresh in their minds. Mum's and Dads will love these fabulous moments in time of their kids doing what they love.

As well as the juniors we had some very talented seniors such as Lucy (below) showing what years of hard work at Tina's Dance Studios under School Principal Miss Tina Jameson can achieve. We are sure to see Lucy on stage as a professional dancer in the not to distant future if these stunning portraits are anything to go by.

Karate Portraits

Weather its Dance, Martial Arts, Drama or some other activity that young people engage in its brilliant to be able to photograph kids doing something they are really passionate about. 

There is nothing like starting a sport or hobby when your young and sticking at it, putting the hours of practice in, week in week out, attending competitions or taking grades or exams so you can strive to be better.

Dominic below is such an example shown here in action during a recent Karate Portrait Photoshoot we did in Lancashire. He's been training a long time and has achieved his black belt. You can tell by the way he moves and executes these kicks that he is talented and will be a real force when he's older. 

We are lucky at MyFoto to be able to capture some great memories of kids doing what they love. 

For this Photoshoot we used a black backdrop to contrast nicely with the white Karate Gi, it was also nice to breakout the really big 86" Extreme Silver Parabolic Light Modifier that we got from Paul C Buff in the USA. It gives some zingy snap crackle and pop to these martial arts portraits that works really well.

Drama School Portraits

We did some great actors headhshots for all the young actors and performers at the Helen O Grady school of Drama in Manchester. This was another chance to get some really nice portraits of kids doing what they love, in this case acting and performing.

With no more of a prompt than "do something spontaneous when I count to three" we ended up with all kinds of great shots which really brought these children's personalities through. We can just imagine some of these youngsters popping up on Coronation Street or some BBC Drama in the future as the talent on display during the action classes was very high. Future BAFTA winners in the making!
