Ballet Recital Photography: Timing Is Everything

Why ballet needs a photographer who understands the choreography.

Ballet Recital Photography: Timing Is Everything, Syrenn Studios

Split-second timing

The top of a jump or the peak of a balance lasts a fraction of a second. Miss it and the line looks wrong.

Know the music

Understanding the music and choreography helps anticipate the moment instead of reacting to it.

Clean colour

Ballet usually looks best with soft, natural colour and true skin tones rather than heavy filters.
