Pointe Tango in the Studio

Alex and Erin from Pointe Tango dropped by the studio a couple of weeks ago to play around with a few concepts. (Thanks guys) They are outstanding professional dancers who travel the world. I can’t wait to see their new show in 2019.

We started off with photographing Erin in her pointe & tango shoes.

Many shoes and many different poses.

Erin had a million different poses for these pictures.

Next we moved into some motion lifts. Alex is catching Erin in full jump.

- London Dance Photo - I am Mark Ruddick, an experienced photographer working in London, ON. I enjoy photographing dancers and really appreciate the athleticism and artistry involved. Coming from a fight photography background, I have developed my technique to capture rapidly moving subjects at high speed in front of the lens. The resulting instinct for timing fight photography has lead to an ability to capture my subjects at the peak of their motion in an artistic way.

Let me capture the photos that move you.

- Pointe Tango - is a new dance company directed by Alexander Richardson and features dancers Erin Scott-Kafadar and Alexander Richardson.  This contemporary company uses elements of Argentine Tango and Classical Ballet to explore a new dance vocabulary based on connection, improvisation and intention.

Finished off the edits from last month's shoot with April. She's only been lifting heavy for the last few months and has made a lot of progress in a short time. BF% is down and the weight is up. She looked great and more importantly is feeling great.

Couples Fitness with Rob & Kristy

Last month I did a couples fitness shoot with Rob & Kristy. He's a personal trainer and she's a fitness competitor. I've shot with them both before and we have a very relaxed, friendly vibe. We have a video of the shoot coming out in a couple of weeks, but I thought I would post some of the pictures now. I love photographing couples fitness.

3 Shoots Last Weekend

This past weekend I had the privilege of photographing 3 different women. All 3 were in different areas but they all shared common traits. Discipline, toughness, strength and drive were all shown by these women. One is a personal trainer, one a physique competitor and one a decorated amateur boxer turning pro. It is always humbling to see how hard these people work to make themselves better.
