Have you ever wondered how dance companies and productions get those amazing photographs of their artists in perfectly posed dance stances? Well, Benjamin Von Wong has recently thrown some light over the intricate process of lighting and shooting a complex dance campaign.
Benjamin shot the amazing dance promo at the legendary Gesu Theatre in Montreal. In the video he explains the best tips on posing, lighting and the importance of pre-production and planning.
With the help of the lighting technician at the theater, Ben used both Paul C Buff lighting and the ambient lighting from the stage lights to get that vibrant and dramatic lighting in the images.
