Dance is awesome to photograph, but sometimes you want to kick it up a notch. So, we added flour. Two lights in the back will light it up. The real trick is training the subject to spread it. It takes a few tries to get the hang of it so get one of those giant bags from BJs or Costco or someplace.
I prefer dancers because usually they come with motions in mind. Then you work back and forth together to get down something that works with the flour. As for the color, that’s just some lightroom magic. Since the flour is white it is pretty easy to change the color of it. Gymnasts would likely be a good combination too with this sort of photography session.
One last note: in case you didn’t notice this sort of photography is MESSY. It’s messy for the backdrop, the ground drop, and the subject. Expect flour to get everywhere and plan accordingly. I prefer to do this outside in the grass but expect to have flour hanging around your yard until the next moderate rain.
If you are interested in a flour photography session, contact me and we will work it out.
