Neal Urban Photography has found a love for dance photography and portraits. A ballet dancer moves across the floor with a near supernatural grace. The dancers body a blend of strength and elegance. Every leap, stretch, and pirouette is a testament to all those long hours spent rehearsing, learning, and challenging themselves. The muscles work in perfect coordination with each other, every movement appearing effortless as they master the most challenging tricks. With elegant step and beautiful movements, they tell an emotion and utter a word without words, engrossing an audience in an enchanting wordless conversation. Whether they tread the boards on a large or a small stage, a ballet dancer fascinates, imprinting something to remember in an audience of good fortune that can behold their effort.
Capturing a ballet dancer or any other dancer was an amazing challenge for Neal Urban Photography. Timing needed to be perfect. The dancer is the artist in these photo session. Dancers strive for perfection as they continue their dance journey. Neal Urban will team up with them and have the dancer correct any movements they feel need changes. A slight bend in the arm or raise of the leg can make a huge difference for a dancer, especially a ballet dancer.
Stella's mom contacted Neal Urban Photograph for dance photos, as she had seen some the photos we had done for other dancers they knew. Stella was also a ballerina. They wanted something different and fun. Neal Urban Photography had an idea to use Forest Lawn Cemetery for the session. They loved the idea. Neal Urban opened up the session by using the Main St entrance to the park. The architecture looks like Paris or New York City. Neal and Danielle had the idea to use props after seeing the outfits this ballerina would have. Neal Urban Photography brought some black lace masks and red roses for photos. The ballet session was around Halloween, so it was fun to add these in! Danielle Urban also found some lace boleros. This black feathered bolero came up around her neck. Since it was around Halloween, it had a vampire feel. Really love the dark clothing paired with the bright back ground in this photo! Let's not miss the geese and swan in the back ground!
Neal Urban Photography has photographed dancers who needed portfolios updated, new portfolios, galleries and albums for college applications, and even competition dancers. The dance world and family is something amazing for Neal Urban Photography to be part of.
Neal Urban Photography also designed a beautiful album and prints for this talented dancer!
