Create, capture, captivate : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Dance photography is one of the most beautiful presentations of art, in my eyes. Catching spltt seconds of movement and grace with the snap of a shutter captures a moment that is truly one of a kind. Lois Greenfield is one of the most respected dance photographers in the country, and she is the most sought after artist in the dance world. After researching her process, I attempted to create some of my own photographs in Lois Greenfield's style. I took her six genres as an organizational guide and explored movement through the lens of my Digital SLR Canon Rebel. After compiling hundreds of photographs from five major photo shoots, I narrowed my selection to 21 pieces for an installment gallery in a dance studio, and narrowed those choices even further to create a 12-month calendar.
