Dance Photography

Yes. Michaels Photography photographs dance recitals, showcases, competitions and company performances in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the rest of New York City, as well as Westchester, the Hudson Valley, New Jersey and Connecticut.

No. Performances are photographed using the stage lighting only, with fast lenses and cameras built for low light, so neither the dancers nor the audience are distracted.

Often, yes. A dress rehearsal lets Michael move around the theatre freely, which means more angles and closer shots without disturbing the audience. Many studios book both: the rehearsal for action shots and the show for the atmosphere.

Photos are delivered in an online gallery organised by routine, so the studio can share a single link and families can find their dancer quickly.

A session for an individual dancer that produces action shots, full-length photos and headshots for agency submissions, auditions, college applications and social media. Michael directs each move until the line, timing and expression are right.

On a black or studio backdrop, on a stage, or on location around New York City, such as rooftops, parks and city streets. The location is chosen to suit the dancer and the style.
