Douglas Hayes has been Starr Foster Dance’s photographer since the founding of the company. He specializes in dynamic action shots, capturing the dancer perfectly in a moment of movement. There will be twelve 45 Minute individual photography sessions available both July 26th & 27th. These appointments are open for session participants and non-participants. The cost includes 3 images selected from the contact sheet. Once the images are selected, the high resolution, digital photographs will be sent to the email provided. A company member will be present during each photography session to assist with ideas. We ask that a parent or guardian be present with dancers under 16. The photographs will be taken true SFD style with a black backdrop. You may choose to do headshots, full body audition shots, action shots, or anything you wish to be captured. Check out Douglas’ photography throughout our site!
