Favorite Dance Portraits: Sarah Intended to portray the last few seconds waiting off-stage for her cue, we lit Sarah with Paul C Buff studio lights in 12"x55" Cheetah stripboxes (rear left and rear right), which add dramatic rim lighting, and shows off her toned dancer's legs.

Favorite Dance Portraits: Emily We lit Emily with a single studio light directly above her, and had her look up to fill her face with the light. The fabric "tornado" is comprised of 7 different photographs of billowing fabric, composited together in post-production.

Favorite Dance Portraits: Emily Lit by daylight from the left.... Hung a large piece of burgundy fabric to the side of her, which not only replicated a stage curtain, but blocked light on the back brick wall, darkening it and making her stand out against the background. See more
