Pas de Deux Photo is hosting a workshop dedicated volume work in dance photography. The event will take place Saturday, November 8 and Sunday, November 10 at Ron McKinney Photography in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.

We plan to cover every aspect of the Dance Recital Portrait Photo Shoot -- and you'll get four different perspectives from speakers Ron McKinney and Mike Farella, and mentors Stacey Wright and John-Mark Stephenson.  All four of us will share our experiences of having grown our volume dance business from its beginnings to where we are today, shooting more than 20 dance schools a year.

Whether you're wanting to get your first recital portrait shoot, or if you're trying to grow from 6-10 schools, this workshop will help you achieve your goals.  We'll cover how to earn the interest of new dance schools, when and how to contact them, how to do online orders that automatically fill Google spreadsheets, we'll discuss pricing, how many poses to do with individual dancers, the logistics of the shoot, the benefits of using PhotoDay or GotPhoto software, and the equipment you'll need.  Check the schedule below for all our topics.
