Lycra leggings, extremely flexible people and lots of laughter...Part 1...

After shooting the head shots for the three dancers, i needed to shoot some full body poses. This was to be done to show their movements and also provided an image for their portfolios as well as mine.

I had a mixture of dancers as one was a ballerina, one a gymnast and one good all rounder. I decided to focus on this and play to their individual strengths for their pictures. Again I used simple lighting, similar to the of the set up for the head shots. I remove the polystyrene from the front and added another soft box to the front left hand side of the set to add a little bit of light from the waist downwards.

Some shots of Beth the ballerina can be seen below.
