I’m excited to share some images from another studio photography session with two amazing ballet dancers.
Several years ago, I photographed then 16-year-old Anna Gerberich for a story The Charlotte Observer was doing on her joining the North Carolina Dance Theatre.
Melissa Anduiza is another incredible artist I’ve photographed numerous times and it was a pleasure working with them both. I have so much respect for their talent and professionalism.
Both women are incredibly photogenic and I took the opportunity to try out a few new portrait lighting techniques.
A big thank you again to Kevin and Teresa Chelko for giving the opportunity to work in their studio. They are incredible professionals who pay attention to every detail, which is a good reason the space is utilized in major television and still productions. Thanks also to my former Observer colleague Phil Hoffman, who came along and filmed the shoot. We’ll be sharing that here at some point.
Be sure to check out NCDT’s final show of the season, which includes the choreography of Sasha Janes in Dangerous Liaisons and Dwight Rhoden’s Artifice. The performances are this Thursday through Saturday at the Knight Theater in Charlotte.
