What Our Clients Say
Harry & Jess at 530 Photography are the epitome of professionalism, dedication, and graciousness. I have worked with them twice on dance shoots-once in a group setting, and once solo. Both times, they were incredibly prepared with lighting options, pose ideas, and overall mood boards. There’s even a rack of costumes to play with as well as prop fabric and anything else you might want! Harry makes me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera and is eager to show his enthusiasm when we’re making progress towards “the shot.” Jess is wonderful in her movement direction as it is clear and she directs me in ways I would’ve otherwise not been aware of. I have always had the utmost pleasure in the studio and have immense respect for the beautiful space and wonderful people in it. Bonus points for being able to blast whatever music you want to hype everyone up! I love 530 Dance Photography and look forward to more successful shoots.
Harry and Jess are very knowledgeable and professional, I am so happy with my photos! Throughout the entire process, both Harry and Jess made sure every detail was addressed. I would highly recommend dancers to work with them!
I have a done a few shoots with 530 Dance Photography now and could not recommend them more! Whether you need still shots or motion shots they are the people to go to – right out of camera the photos already look amazing. Everyone on the team is so welcoming and wonderful, I cannot say enough good things about them!

I had a shoot with Harry and Jess and they were nothing but positive and helpful! I felt safe to be myself and get exactly what I wanted out of the shoot! So easy to work with! And Very quick with editing and delivering the final products. I got my photos about a week and a half later. Definitely going back!
We have done multiple photoshoots with Harry and Jess. This collaborative experience is one of our favorites every year. 530 Dance as a company knows how to take care of their artists, communicate well and be in the artistry fully. Whether we are experimenting with costume pieces or painting our bodies Harry and his team really know how to make a photoshoot so special. We are so excited for our upcoming session in the Fall!
530 Dance Photography was extremely professional and the photos turned out beautifully. Their space is comfortable and the whole process was enjoyable. Highly recommended!
I have worked with 530 Dance Photography a few times and have never been disappointed. The team is absolutely incredible and surpass my expectations every single time. I now use the photos from our sessions for my professional dance resume and my portfolio. Everything from the lighting, the sprung floors and their creative ideas have made my sessions so enjoyable. I could not recommend them enough!!
I don’t even know where to begin. The entire team at 530 Photography has been absolutely amazing to work with, from start to finish.
I set up a decently sized 2 day session with my dance team ranging from ages 4-19. I can’t explain how wonderful they were. In planning, dealing with all of my questions, setting up zoom calls, answering my texts, being patient when I took forever to get back with them. The weekend of, they were patient, knowledgeable, understanding …and phenomenal artists. They worked well with every single one of my dancers and were so encouraging and had wonderful critiques to get every picture JUST RIGHT.
I’m beyond satisfied with my decision, I wouldn’t have changed a thing! Thank you for everything 🥰
Can’t wait to set up the next one 😊
Took my girls to get dance photos done today and it was an amazing experience. They made sure the lights were perfect and that aspect of the picture is perfect. I highly recommend this studio. Taking my daughter back in the fall for pictures in her pointe shoes!!
An absolutely incredible experience! Jess and Harry created such a welcoming environment and were truly invested in creating the best experience possible. Getting my picture taken is usually not my favorite thing to do, but they made it one of my favorite things I’ve ever done. The finished products are incredible and I’ll be using them for a long time!!
530 Dance Photography is absolutely incredible!! The quality is unmatched. The photography duo is warm and welcoming and the location is lovely. From the very beginning of our communication, I was impressed. They were so attentive, polite, and professional with me. I had many questions (since this was my first shoot) and they were all answered before I even got to the shoot. I’m from Manhattan and had to take the train to Jersey where I was actually picked up at the station by Jess, Harry’s lovely assistant and dance/movement coordinator; she’s a joy to be around. I came to get my dance headshots and creative dance photos done and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The whole headshot process wasn’t scary at all as I imagined it would be. Instead, Harry made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He knew how to adjust lighting and angles like a pro to minimize and/or highlight whatever I wanted in my shots. His attention to detail is truly one of a kind and he was insistent on shooting until I had something I really loved. That was the type of attentivenedd I was looking for. Also, they had a beautiful collection of leotards to borrow for free at the studio. I picked out a gorgeous custom leotard that I got to use in my pictures and a long flowing skirt. The dance photos are so professional and absolutely stunning. The creativity and artistry that Harry and Jess displayed was truly a beautiful process to be part of. I could not recommend 530 Dance Photography more for whatever you’re looking to get done. You will not regret your choice to work with this professional, welcoming business.
This is one of the very best in the business! Harry and his team are talented, creative, courteous, patient, and super professional! The knowledge of light, lines, timing, dimension, and the rendering of emotion is absolute! We end up with artistic photos that can only enhance the portfolio of a dance student, dancer, or professional dance company.
I had the best time working with 530 Dance Photography! They understood exactly what I was looking for in my shoot and worked to help me get the best pictures possible. I never felt rushed in getting a shot done and really appreciated the positive and safe environment they created:))
Five Stars!
Working with 530 Dance Photography consisted of both a positive environment and a successful photo shoot! Harry gave me time to warm up for dance shots, did not ask me to do any dangerous stunts, and gave clear and motivating direction. The photos were came out beautifully . I absolutely recommend others to check out their services by at least booking a consultation 😁
I loved every second of my experience with 530 Dance Photography! It was such a collaborative experience and they made sure I was comfortable throughout the entirety of the day. And of course all of the photos turned out absolutely stunning!!

530 Dance Photography is such an incredible team to work with! They have awesome equipment that helps them to create truly beautiful art.

I absolutely loved working with 530 Dance Photography! I did my first ever dance shoot with them and felt very comfortable throughout the process. The clear communication and collaboration during each shot made me feel more confident in the images we produced together.
Absolutely an amazing experience start to finish. The culture this company creates during their shoots is so friendly and comfortable and the photos are always stunning. I have worked with 530 Dance Photography a few times and have been blown away each time by the team and how much fun each shoot has been. By far my favorite Photography studio I have ever worked with!!! Can’t recommend enough!!
530 DP creates such a comforting environment to try new things and feel confident in front of the camera! Would recommend to anyone looking for amazing professional dance photos!
Such a great experience to work with everyone involved in the photoshoot! I’ve done several shoots with Harry and I’ve always felt supported and welcomed every time! I really feel apart of the collaborative process and that my voice is heard in the studio! Thank you guys again 🙂
530 photography is a next level photography experience. I did a dance and athletic fitness shoot with them and it truly was a smooth, efficient and wonderful process. From the beginning, both Harry and his fabulous assistant Jess, were communicative, wanted to make sure I felt comfortable, listened to my ideas, had a place for outfits when I arrived and were super clear on how the day could go with room for spontaneity and creativity as well (which I appreciated). You can tell they both love and are VERY good at what they do.Not to mention the studio, is an absolutely gorgeous space! I felt excited to play in front of the camera and supported as each shot was approached with very close attention to detail and lighting. Jess is a fabulous coach for you movers out there who has the expertise to guide and support the dancers as she is a dancer herself! Post shoot, the editing process was pretty easy through the online platform provided where I could select and categorize my favorite photos. They even hopped on a follow up zoom to make sure I was happy with the final products. If you are a dancer, model or athlete, or creative of any kind, this company is one you want to hire and will excite you to be creative, play and also end up with absolutely fabulous photos from it!
I’ve worked with 530 Dance Photography a few times and I really enjoy the process! They are super kind and patient, they help you find the right poses and take their time to make sure you get a shot you love. It felt like a real collaboration between artist and photographer.
