Amanda Senior Dance Shots

Shot these over Christmas at a local dance studio.

I like it, nice series First one is nice but would be great without the shadow on the wall I think.

awesome!!! I really like these.

Great shots. #5 is my favorite, it's a nice capture of a thoughtful look.

These are nice with a great mood to them. I really like the last one.

Thanks everyone. So far people seem to like them. They really weren't what I was originally going for, but I'm glad they turned out.

Beautiful! I really like #2.

love 4 and 5. nice lighting and expression

Great series. 2 and 5 are my favs.

very nice, I've been thinking about trying to shoot a dancer sometime

i love this.

I like them all except #1

Simply amazing, love them all. But your B&W are astonishing ! what was your lightning setup for that shot ?

i like the composition in all the shots. IMHO the lighting is too strong left side creating very dark shadows on right and thus losing some detail there. otherwise, nice work.

Thanks everyone.

My lighting was basically a single strobe with an umbrella. I did have a Sigma flash that I also used, but I only used it in certain shots. The lighting probably could have been more balanced, but I liked the moody effect from the single light. A reflector would have probably been very effective in filling some of the dark shadows, but I didn't have one with me.
