Thank you, but it's not as simple as that. I've seen photos that make even the most beautiful dancer look like a boney-snake with fire-eyes or chubby-miss-pants-don't-fit.
I could not have done it without my stylist and the photographer.
The stylist knew how do make-up for a photo-lights. I have no clue. My lack of clues as to how things would go (combined with dramatic changes in the weather) meant that my face broke out in a light exema rash the night before.
The photographer has a lot of experience shooting dancers. He knew what to go for and how to guide me there.
And there ARE some horrid out-takes. There's one of me looking angry/horrified mid-barrel turn. We'd just started with a new cloth backdrop and it wasn't taped down correctly. When I spun it wrapped itself around my ankles and threatened to take me down.
I can take credit for the coin costume though. I made the base for the coinset (which I bought used on bhuz from... Tahira I think) and adjusted it like crazy until it suited me juuuust so. I made the skirt (no pattern) the week before on my new serger. It was my first time sewing a dance skirt.
