Sparkle Academy – Rawtenstall
What a fun shoot! Dancers love to pose and we love to turn their moves and poses into fun images.
Do you attend a dance class in Lancashire or West Yorkshire?? Or maybe your children do. Tell your dance teacher about us – we’d love to come and do a shoot for you. Also, as we give 10% of our profits from the shoot back to the dance group, it’s great fundraiser.
So, 2012 was the year of the Postbox partnership. The year we, as a mother and daughter team (should be daughter and mother really – in terms of importance), took on the nurseries. We love toddlers in the studio but taking them on in their own environment is a different matter. Lights, background, toys all in place but no smiles! This is where the teamwork kicks in.
It’s quite difficult, as a photographer to coax a smile whilst looking through the lens. Here’s when a partner is needed. What child will not giggle when a green fluffy dinosaur decides to eat the photographer. Instant success -photography by Amy, puppetry by yours truly. Judging by the response from parents to our nursery images, we got it right! We like to give people variety so we offered at least 6 images of each child. And we like to keep up our studio standards so what we offer is, not just an ordinary nursery shoot but a mini portrait session.
Yesterday I was sorting through the hard drive, trying to make some space. I came across these images and thought I’d post them to see what you think. They were done last year for Style Etc magazine – the model is Ruqayya Dost. Would love some feedback.
