Dance and the D7000
Friday, March 25th, 2011
One of my major motivations for getting the Nikon D7000 was the improvement I thought it would make in what I could do with dance photography. But I really had no idea how huge an improvement it would be over my D200. Now I know. I’ve been shooting dance since the 1960s. Back when I […]
Dance at the studio
Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Practically since the very beginnings of my life as a photographer dance has been a subject I loved. I started photographing dance at the newly-formed Ohio University Dance Department when I was a 17-year-old college freshman looking for something to photograph. I fell in love with dance then and that love remains. In recent years […]
And More Dance

Lighting, of course, is key to successful dance performance photos. And particularly when working with student productions I never know what I’m going to encounter. The Ohio University School of Dance has an excellent lighting designer on the faculty who teaches lighting design. When he lights a piece I know I’m going to be getting […]
Dance, Dance, Dance
Saturday, November 15th, 2008
I’ve spent the past week immersed in dance. Three days of watching lighting rehearsals so I could be familiar with each of the 19 dances. Then one evening of shooting two concerts in technical rehearsal, one after the other. Then back home to spend three days downloading, sorting, editing and uploading the photos. I shot […]
In The Circle
Monday, November 10th, 2008
It’s a busy time at my place. We have a friend visiting from Finland. She leaves tomorrow early in the morning. And, meanwhile, I’ve been photographing a dance concert, actually two concerts, at Ohio University. That has involved spending this weekend in Athens watching the dances while they are being lit. I’ll be doing more […]

Another photo from the Ohio University Spring Concert. I still don’t have any information about this concert, so I can’t tell you the title of the piece or the names of the dancers. I’m pretty sure about the dancers’ names, but I don’t like to put up incomplete credit info and not having the program […]

There’s the Senior Concert produced by and showcasing the senior dance majors and also the Spring Concert with both student and faculty choreography and dancing as well as work by visiting artists.

Passing by

Another from Dario Vaccaro’s dance, “Segiuti.” That’s Dario in front, along with dancers Christine Freeman on the right and Rosanne Ma in the back left. I’ve photographed two dance concerts at Ohio University in the past week. I hope to get those photos edited in the next couple days and start posting some of them. […]
