Hilton Bonaventure, Montreal
My first “serious” attempt dance photography, where I spent a three-day weekend taking as many pictures as possible. I’m pretty happy with how they turned out, there are some awesome shots, but I’ve still got a lot to learn about white balance! Those lights really played havoc with the colors, which required a lot of extra work. So, not perfect, but it’ll get better all the time!
See all photos from La Classique du Québec 2009. Prints can be ordered from the site.
Another look at this great competition. My friend Stéphane Jolicoeur-Fidelia is a professional photographer who has been taking dance pictures for several years. This [too short] gallery is full of those little moments… intimate, playful, explosive… that are constantly sparking on the dancefloor. Stéphane is my photography hero, where I hope my work may reach one day!
