Timing, Light and Movement: Mastering Dance in the Studio

Learn how to capture movement with precision in this practical session focused on dancers, controlled studio lighting and dynamic image-making.

This talk will explore how to freeze motion, shape light and direct movement to create bold, impactful images with energy and purpose. Attendees will learn how lighting choice, timing, camera settings and communication all work together when photographing fast-moving subjects in a studio environment.

It will also cover how to direct dancers confidently, helping them move with intention while giving the photographer the best chance of capturing strong shapes, clean lines and expressive moments.
