Dance Photography Tips
Photographing dance can be a lot of fun as it allows you to get creative and take a snapshot of dance in action. Here are some tips for your photographs.
- When photographing a group of dancers, you want a higher f-stop to ensure they are all in focus. But if you’re concentrating on a single dancer, a wider aperture like f/1.4 will blur out the background or create beautiful bokeh to make professional-looking photographs.
- Try shooting from different angles to see what captures the movement and technique best.
- Experiment with shutter speed. Use long exposures to create a sense of motion and get creative with your photography. On the other hand, if you want to freeze motion, use flash and quick shutter speeds to capture those quick movements, such as jumps and leaps.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment. Be creative and try different compositions, angles, and editing techniques.
- Try different locations. Take photos in the studio and on location. Go outside and use different backdrops and settings to create eye-catching photographs.
- Take close up shots and capture details. Shoes, costumes and accessories can be an important part of dance and can make interesting photographs.
Social Media Tips for Dance Accounts
If your social media account is dedicated to dance and you want to grow your following, here are some tips for social media success.
- Use Instagram’s carousel feature and post multiple photos. You can tell a story or capture the sequence of a dance. Carousels work well on Instagram as they encourage users to swipe through your images, which creates engagement.
- Follow other dance accounts or influencers and interact and comment on their content.
- Find dance-related hashtags to help other people find your content. To find relevant hashtags look at what other accounts in your niche are using. You can also use the search tool to find suggested hashtags on most social media platforms. Some ideas to start are #dancegoals #dancelifestyle #hiphopdance #dancersofinstagram
- Once you have your hashtags, engage regularly with posts that use these hashtags. Like their posts and write positive comments.
- Use all the features social media platforms have to offer. For example, on Instagram create reels, stories, posts and do live streams.
- Post behind the scenes shots and videos – not everything has to be perfect. There’s a lot of work that goes into a big performance or routine, and sharing moments from practice and rehearsal can connect with your audience. If you are doing a big performance, capture the scenes and atmosphere backstage.
