The Carriage House Studio and Gallery is presenting a Dance Photography Weekend, including an exhibit of dance photography (Friday), seminar for the photographers (Saturday), and to top it all off, a dance photography workshop (Sunday)!

• Technical aspects and challenges of dance photography, including motion/in flight/lighting and posing.
Photo Shoot: 3 pm – 6 pm:
A series of Mini Photo Shoots including floor movement, in flight and pre/post performance portraits. Each photographer has had the opportunity to direct and shoot the dancers on different sets.

The model who is not dancing, will be in a separate area of the studio posing with continuous (hot) lights.
