Photographing a Belly Dancer means capturing
the beauty, the intensity, the softness and the power of that dancer. It
is a balance of still and motion as well as light and shadow. Having
been around belly dancing for over 15 years, our photographer does an
amazing job of capturing that instant of time called your photograph.
RSI is offering two options for taking
photographs. These are:
Option A
- Standard Professional Shoot - Individual shots will be taken
immediately after the group shots are completed on a group photography
day (scheduled separately for each event). The standard shoot time is
approximately 5 minutes with multiple photographs taken. The best shot
is then selected by the photographer and used for your
selected package. There is no extra cost for this option, other
than the package of prints you select.
Simply select your package and any desired ala carte items. A picture
order form is required for every individual dancer who wants photos.
Should you need
photo order forms, please let the Studio know. If any re-shoots are
required, the re-shoot must be done completed on the "re-shoot" day.
Here are several examples of this type of shoot:
Option B - Enhanced Studio Shoot - The concept with this type of
shoot is more of an actual sitting. We use multiple poses with various
backdrops and specialized lighting. The shoot time is 25 minutes with an
unlimited number of photographs taken. You select the best shots and
what size prints you want for each of those shots (one photograph per
sheet). Once your desired photographs are selected, you may
select one or multiple print packages (shown below) or add on any ala
carte items that you desire.
The enhanced photography shoot is by appointment only. The sitting fee for this option is $40 per dancer. A picture order
form is required for every individual dancer who wants photos. Contact
the Studio for photo order
forms at 630-978-1149. Any requested re-shoot requires a
$40 fee and must be completed on the "re-shoot" day.
Here are several examples of this type of shoot:
