Professional Dance Photography Denver

If you are looking for a professional dance photographer around Colorado you have found the right place! Eli Akerstein has been photographing dancers for more than ten years. The following photos are from a recent shoot with Davis Contemporary Dance in Denver. Davis Dance and Eli Akerstein Photography have been collaborating for more than two years. Eli Akerstein is a professional headshot and dance photographer in Boulder Colorado. Eli Akerstein does movement photography in Denver, Fort Collins, and Boulder Colorado. 

This shoot was largely about getting a new dance photo for each professional dancer. We decided to use a hard directional light for these dance photos. 

3 ways to decide if it's time for a new business headshot

1. You meet a new business contact for coffee and they walk right past you. 

Has it been more than three years since your last professional business portrait? If so, chances are it is time to refresh your business photo. Some of us wait a decade or more for a new Denver business headshot and that is just too long! Keep it current. And don't worry...it'll look great!

2. Your LinkedIn photo use was taken on vacation

Listen, a good shot is a good shot. But (does there always need to be a but?!) even if you look like fantastic, it is sending the wrong message. It is casual rather than professional. Subtleties matter in portraits and it's best to have some separation between your personal shots and business photos. If you live in the greater Denver area and are looking for a business headshot photographer consider giving us a call.

3. Your business headshot was taken quickly with little regard for outfit, hair, and expression

Business headshots are about the little things. Do you look confident and competent in your business portrait? Is your shirt wrinkled? Do you look friendly and approachable? Do you appear to be an expert in your field? Taking the time to plan your shot is critical to a successful business headshot. I have a team in place that can help ensure all the pieces are put in place so your headshot is perfect. In addition to hiring me I can recommend clothing stylists as well as hair and makeup professionals that can join us on set.

6 time world champion juggler photoshoot

When six time world champion juggler Peter Irish decided to update his promotional photography and materials he reached out to Eli Akerstein photography, a business specializing in dance and movement photography and advertising portraits outside of Denver Colorado. While the shoot was largely about capturing Peter as a fun and dynamic performer we did a few more serious action photographs showing his extraordinary skill. One of my favorite shots from the series is the darker photo with the trails of light. This shot was not digitally manipulated and is in fact, a single exposure. If you are looking for an action or dance photographer reach out today! Eli uses special lighting to stop motion to 1/3000 of a second to make sure his dance photography and action photographs are perfect every time. This photoshoot happened in Boulder Colorado. While Eli's specialty is dynamic dance and action studio photography, he also does business headshots advertising portraits, and senior portraits.
