There is no stone left unturned here at our studio. We will NOT stop until we get the shot. We do not “capture” moments… we CREATE them! There are no accidents. No serendipity. We fabricate and manufacture every nuanced microscopic detail that goes into these photoshoots while retaining the unadulterated fiery passion you feel when you dance.
No two bodies are the same. Rachel has built, over 15 years of shooting dancers, a proprietary method of photographing and coaching dancers in the photography studio. This method translates movement that works in a studio and on stage into the 2 dimensional format of an image or screen. We start off slowly, incorporating the skills you need to build shots, finding your lines for the camera from the bottom (literally) up. These adjustments needed for the camera often require a new muscle memory than what you're used to in the studio and on stage. We give you the safe space, and the time you need to build in these new body patterns so that you can comfortably let go and allow your energy, power, and poise to shine through. By the time this new way of working and muscle memory is set (usually about halfway through a shoot) the images start "popping" and the creative process becomes so fun and exciting. We combine this method with a sculptural lighting system, designed to show off your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.
