This is Alex, a 14 year Dance Veteran, who came to us recently for his senior portraits.  It’s not uncommon for us to work with students with exceptional skills – most of the seniors who chose to come to Focus are exceptional in at least a few ways.  Anyway, when we get people with a skill, we try to create a print that really shows that off – and this motion blur image of Alex in the air was an instant favorite for me.

Dance moms in particular often ask us why we want their son or daughter to bring a costume or leotard – dance schools are photographed regularly, they think, and they have a still image of their child in a ‘dance pose’.  When they see the posters – they understand.  This is nothing like a dance school picture.

Thanks for looking – Will.
