Dance Photography FAQ – South Wales

For ballet photography, neutral leotards, pointe shoes and fitted dancewear photograph beautifully and highlight clean lines. For contemporary or commercial dance photography, you can bring multiple outfits to reflect different styles and moods.
I always recommend fitted clothing that shows technique, extensions and posture clearly. If you're booking a dance portfolio photoshoot in South Wales, we can discuss wardrobe before your session.
Before your ballet photoshoot:
- Stretch properly beforehand
- Bring warm-up layers

- Ensure pointe shoes are performance-ready
