For the second Foto Energy shootout which took place last Friday, Focus Photography Workshops organizers put together a session with Denver’s D2L (Dance 2 Live) crew at the Centerstage Starz Theatre and Dance Studio. I’ve always been fascinated by break dancers, so it was exciting to watch these guys and girls perform all kinds of crazy spins and jumps, contorting their bodies into poses I couldn’t even imagine trying to attempt.
As Mark Alison (workshop organizer and instructor) pointed out, shooting dancers in motion, much like shooting sports — is all about anticipation. It was a challenge trying to freeze the motion while also keeping composition in mind. Sometimes it worked well; other times – not so much! Either way, the shootout was a blast, as always.

Thanks! I have some behind-the-scenes video footage of the shoot which I may post in the next couple of days.
