\"\"<\/a>I spent my Sunday working with my buddy Kathy Porupski<\/a> doing some dance photography for one of her friends, Ricky Jaime<\/a>. \u00a0Ricky is a dance teacher over at Center Stage Dance<\/a> in the Tampa, Florida area, and just a phenomenal artist.<\/p>\n

We started with working with Ricky through a few poses to get him used to the flashes on the set . \u00a0Not that he needed any coaching here. \u00a0Once he got onto the set, he just started flying! \u00a0Pose after pose, Ricky made leaping through the air just seem effortless. \u00a0There’s just something about watching a dancer leap through the air that just leaves you speechless.<\/p>\n

While making some changes to the set, I decided to see what a dark background would look like. \u00a0We set two lights – one facing him and one behind him. \u00a0The front light was set with a Westcott 12×50 strip light <\/a>with a grid on it – on a Elinchrom 600<\/a>. \u00a0The back light was another RX600 with a pan and grid on it. \u00a0The key with these lights is to get them exactly in the position of where the dancer is going to end up. \u00a0When working with grids, the light is focused to a very specific area. \u00a0Not only does he need to jump, but he needs to jump right into the area where the light is focused. \u00a0This will just outline him, and not spill over into any areas, leaving you a great low-key image with some great form.<\/p>\n

A big thank you to Ricky and Kathy for coming out and playing today. \u00a0Something tells me this kid is going to go places!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I spent my Sunday working with my buddy Kathy Porupski doing some dance photography for one of her…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-974","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-blog","7":"cs-entry"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/974"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=974"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/974\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":982,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/974\/revisions\/982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
