530 Dance Photography: Motion Captured

Dance is art embodied. From measured beats that require controlled execution to expressive performances that move our souls, dance is passion personified. Our job at 530 Dance Photography is to capture this. In our studio, we emphasize each dancer’s artistry, finding a perfect balance of creativity and technique. 

Our dancers bring their passion; we make sure the world can see it.

Masters of Movement

Whether accentuating a deep cambré through shadows or highlighting the line of a graceful arabesque, we create eye-catching images that set you apart. At 530, we offer professional dance photography and movement direction in a collaborative, experimental, and creative setting. Our portfolio tells stories of sacrifice, passion, and the human body’s capabilities when we ask, “What if?”

“Dancing is creating a sculpture that is visible only for a moment.” — Erol Ozan

A Space For All

Vulnerability requires trust. Just as trust is important when moving with a dance partner, so it is when collaborating with a dance photographer. At 530 Dance Photography, we give our dancers the respect, support, and guidance they need to show the best version of themselves on the camera. We build this trust with mutual respect, an inclusive environment, and by remaining open-minded to our dancer’s goals, needs, and ideas. True creativity and collaboration are products of trust.

At 530, we provide out-of-box thinking and one-of-a-kind approaches to take your images to the next caliber.

Beyond Basic Dance Photography

We may be a professional dance photography studio, but we do much more than that. We capture movement—body and soul—in all of its creativity, whether it be classical ballet, modern dance, or any other movement disciplines or practices. From pre-professional dancers to well-established dance companies, 530 creates visual stories that connect us all.
