Thread: Anyone have photos I can use to illustrate dance style articles??

I'm looking for a photo or two to illustrate my dance style articles. If you have a photo that illustrates very typical costuming and dance for any of the following, and would be willing to let me use it in exchange for a link back to your site, please let me know!

Here's an example: The lovely Latifa let me use her Khaleegy pic, the pic and the photo credit are linked back to her site:
Bellydance styles - Khaleegy

I'm hard at work on a Turkish style article right now, I'd love to have either an old-school or modern Turkish costume pic -- bonus points for finger cymbals!


I'd love to also have pics for my articles on:
Egyptian Raqs Sharqi
Saidi/Raks Al Assaya
Baladi


Other articles I have planned include:
(I've given up estimating when I may get them done ,r:; ..l;, But this is roughly the order I plan to do them in)

American Cabaret (Vintage Oriental)
Turkish Romani
Lebanese
ITS/ATS
Tribal Fusion
Melaya Leff
Shaabi



If you have a pic that captures any of these styles, I may be interested! I can only use one or two pics for each style, so if I get several submissions I may have to turn someone down. If so, it'll be based on which pics capture the style, or fit in my layout, or compliment my color scheme and has NOTHING to do with who is prettiest or who I like most. ..g.:

you know you are welcome to use whatever! i do have a lot not posted, if there is something special you want. all my pics include zills.

I have a couple picks from my Meleya... would you like me to eamil them to you? I think Laura may have a couple Meleya pics as well.

Thank you both! I'd love to have your melaya picks, Kels, and Laura's too!

Cory, you are perfect to illustrate American and perhaps Turkish styles. Should I look for pics on your website?

Just in case you have not thought of this yet, have you considered emailing Artemis? She is a lovely, generous and incredibly helpful person. And, if you'll be at her workshop weekend in Minnesota (which is fairly close to you, isn't it?), chances are that she will share advice, too.

I'll send you some meleya and raks assaya pics!

Artemis very generously looked over my notes on Turkish Roman already and has been very helpful. She's a doll! (and I've never been to Minnesota, but I think it's really far!)
