Schools+Events
I photograph and video classes, recitals, performances and competitions. Please allow ample time for preplanning.
Schools
I am pleased to work with your school for designated photoshoot days at your studio or mine (East Vancouver) or at some creative location. I am set up to photograph your junior, senior, and competitive dance teams/companies in individual dance poses, portraits and different costumes in both small and large groups.Either you would bring your school to my studio or I will come to your studio or location with whatever I need (lights, backdrop, etc...) and we photograph a number of your students in sequence.
Events
I can do general event coverage as well as feature the main speakers or performances in the event.
Generally, event photography will get 25 to 50 images per hour.
Performances
Generally, I would like to shoot the dress/tech rehearsal of a performance (without the audience) before the actual performance (with the audience) as I may bring several cameras and will be moving around the auditorium. With a live audience, I usually stay at the back of the house or the front of the balcony to take photos.
A 90 minute performance may get 30 to 100 photos, depending on what is happening in the performance.
Competitions
I am not a high volume shooter (where usually most of the images are badly composed, not in focus, blurry, not vertical) who delivers images the next day. I am a high end find out photographer and I can photograph your athlete and choose several key images for him/her (or we choose together) that I will use Photoshoot to retouch in detail and deliver 4 to 6 weeks later. I spend a lot of time on each image to make sure it is magazine cover quality.
Thus, I can be present to photograph the entire competition for everyone but I rarely do this. It is better for you if you engage me before the competition to photograph only your athletes or your school and then I deliver 10 to 15 images of that athlete for each routine or performance they do. The rate is usually per routine and can be discussed in advance.
Contact me today and tell me about your fabulous ideas and what you would like to do and I will be happy to make you a quote for your investment.
