Pole dancers training / rehearsal

Shooting sports or dancers when training/rehearsing is a great opportunity to get shots that would be very difficult in performance or in the game. You can take more time, moves are repeated, you can get people 'in the zone' and mix more easily in close quarters.

If you get the chance to shoot sports or dancers - see if you can attend training - you can get some great stuff.

Please subscribe -- more dancer videos coming up in the next few weeks.

Gear used on this shoot was:
Nikon D5100
Nikon D700
Nikon 14-24mm
Nikon 24-70mm
Nikon 50mm 1.4
Nikon 85mm 1.4

@brent847 No, why would it be awkward? you arrange to go and photograph them, then you do it

@brent847 just say im a film student doing a project thats what works for me then you can say heres my buisness card check out the site some time. its only wierd if your acting wierd about it.

Ive made a connection at a local bar and even did a portrait shoot and shot some musicians  but it is still difficult to photograph stranger such as street photography. people seem so suspicious these days im even asking special permition to post/portfolio a portrait of one of the subjects daughter just to make sure its ok.

As an aspiring photographer,, isnt it awkward trying to get great shots in such a situation? I know that you generally need to get close or shift perspectives wouldnt get the wrong idea. Whats the best way to approach a shoot such as this and get them comfortable with you shooting do you shoot from a distance like by the wall?

[bwinn10]

just reminded myself of why i need a new high ISO cam. For shooting 12fps of fast moving strippers in low light lol

shimmy looks great my type of girl but they are all great and wonderfull
