Ballet Recital Photography: Timing Is Everything
Why ballet needs a photographer who understands the choreography.

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.
