Dance portraits for auditions, portfolios, and personal milestones

 

I’m Dan, a dance photographer based in Redmond, Washington. I photograph dancers across Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Woodinville and Redmond — creating images that show technique, line and artistry clearly, whether you need them for auditions, company and school applications, your portfolio, or simply to mark how far your training has brought you.


Sessions are collaborative and unhurried. We work through your strongest movement together, review as we go, and build a set of images that looks like you on your best day.

How It Works

2. Plan — we agree looks, location, and a short list of poses and movement you are comfortable with.


3. Shoot — 2–3 hours, no rushing. We review images as we go so you can adjust and repeat at your strongest.


4. Proof & retouch — your proofing gallery arrives within 2 business days; choose your 12, and I retouch and deliver them ready to submit, print, and share.

Performance Coverage


All images included


Live performance coverage for dance schools and studios across Seattle and the Eastside. One upfront quote for the performance — and every image is included. No packages to choose from afterwards, and no per-photo charges for families.


That means your school or studio can share the full gallery generously with every dancer and family, including those who may not be able to spend extra on images.

About Dan

My formal introduction to photography was a pinhole camera made from an oatmeal container in a 7th grade photography class.


My journey has taken me through photographing weddings, portraits, travel, and sports to where I am today, focusing primarily on dance.


I find dance photography to be the perfect convergence of art and science. Whether creating portraits, audition photos, or portfolio content I am grateful for every artist I work with.
