Q: What tips would you offer to dancers when working with a dance photographer?
A: Be picky about who you shoot with. Be wary of working with photographers who don't have experience shooting dance. Because I work with dancers all the time, I know how to look out for you and your technique. If you choose to shoot with a photographer who doesn't usually shoot dance—and who won't listen to you regarding what looks best—you may be misrepresented. Talk to the photographer about choosing your photos after. Don't wear clothes you can't move properly in, even if they achieve the aesthetic you're looking for. Think about how your clothes will look in a photo as you pick them out. Make sure whatever you wear shows your lines. If you're looking to get a shot with a lot of movement, consider wearing a flowing skirt to enhance the look of the photograph. Also, don't wear brand-new pointe shoes. They will absolutely get ruined, and those things are expensive!
