Whilst progressing with work for the Barbican Theatre, documenting their upcoming performance of 'Driving Deco'. Me and Corinna were asked by a couple of the dancers, Nadjeschda Schaefer & Beth Thompson, if we would do a shoot for them, so that they have some professional photographs for their portfolios. I had looked into dance photography for the work for Driving Deco so I felt confident that we could pull this off. I arranged with the girls to meet at my house and we would use my living room as a backdrop as we could light it so it would be bright so that we could capture their movements. We hired some lights from the college and Wide angle fast lenses, so that it could handle the speed in which the girls moved, so that the movement will be captured in sharp detail.

I really wasn't happy with this shoot, I felt extremely pressured and very unprofessional. The girls didn't know what I wanted and everyone was frustrated. Especially as neither me or Corinna had bothered to find out the names for specific dance movements and without being able to do them ourselves it was hard to communicate what we wanted.
