Artistic Dance Photography
Artistic dance choreography is the creative process of designing and arranging movements, gestures, and patterns for performances in various dance styles. This discipline merges artistic expression with technical skill, allowing choreographers to convey emotions, tell stories, or explore themes through the medium of dance.
Artistic photography of dance and performance requires the same level of artistry, passion, and skill. At North River Photography, we combine the movement and composition of the body to create artistic photographs to reflect your art.
Just like choreography can be created for various forms of dance, including ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, jazz, and more. We strive to encompass all aspects of the body to create photographs that are equally as expressive as the dance it captures.
A skilled photographer can capture the essence of the movement composition, the arrangement of the dance movements, A photographer can use the space within a performance area, including the positioning of dancers, pathways, and formations for perfect photographs.
Our quality photographs require cooperation with dancers, musicians, costume designers, and lighting technicians to bring your vision to life. We start with an idea, theme, or emotion, creating a photo session piece that reflects and brings to life your individual concept.
Artistic dance photography can be seen in various contexts such as bill boards for stage performances, dance film posters, and competition advertisements and announcements.

Performance Art Photography
New York City is the Capital of the performance arts scene. With the influx of cultures and opportunities for artistic expressions abounding in every neighborhood and suburb, there is an abundance of opportunities for everyone to enjoy or partake in , and appreciate, performance art.
What makes performance art so special is that it is fleeting. What one witnesses live will never been seen again. It is interactive. If you are not there to see it, or there to express it, it does not exist.
Performance art photography is the capture of the essence of the art. It is the small retention of a memory. A kernel to cherish, that will grow beyond the depiction up the memories brought up by the imagery of the photograph. The photographs are special, because only those who witnessed or undertook the art, can see beyond the photograph. We at North River Photography understand this. The photograph must capture more than the body, the movement, and the scene, it must capture the emotion. Using lighting techniques, angles, and composition, we can create the perfect performance art photos to let you keep the experience alive for years to come.
