Client Testimonials

Adele
“I am thrilled with my dancer body shots! Matthew was exceptionally generous with his time, and he didn’t rush this shoot or my previous headshot session. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed, with no pressure at all. Matthew even offered suggestions to improve the poses and get better results, all while valuing and considering my opinion. He allowed me to try on a wide range of my own outfits and matched them with his various backgrounds. Additionally, he let me review my images as we shot, which was incredibly helpful and made the selection process much smoother. Overall, I highly recommend Matthew if you are in search of exceptional dancer body shots. He offers a great range of facilities and is a pleasure to work with.”

Lucy
“My dancer bodyshot and headshot session with Matthew was fantastic! We were able to use a wide variety of backdrops and setups to make sure I have a substantial range for my portfolio. Matthew made me feel really comfortable and created the perfect balance between offering guidance and suggestion whilst giving me room to be creative! I was able to view the shots as we went along to make sure I liked what we were producing. The session was a great length to make sure I was able to get everything I was after to make me accessible to casting directors. I was able to view all my images the next day to start choosing my edits - although it’s been very hard to choose as I am so happy with them all! Would 100% recommend Matthew Evas Photography to anyone looking to update their portfolio. Thank you Matthew!”

HIGHLIGHTING YOUR PHYSICALITY AND VERSATILITY
Dance is an art form that relies heavily on the body's ability to express emotions and tell stories. Body shots take this crucial element and freeze it in time. These images showcase your strength, flexibility, and control, allowing casting professionals and artistic directors to appreciate your technical prowess and physicality.
TELLING A VISUAL STORY
Dance is storytelling in motion, and your portfolio should reflect that. Alongside performance shots, headshots and body shots provide opportunities to share additional narratives. Headshots can convey emotions and capture the subtleties of different characters or themes, giving potential employers a glimpse into the range of roles you can embody. Body shots freeze moments of peak intensity or captivating poses, creating captivating visuals that leave a lasting impression.
ESTABLISHING PROFESSIONALISM AND PREPAREDNESS
In the competitive field of dance, it's essential to demonstrate your professionalism and dedication to your craft. Including headshots and body shots in your portfolio showcases your commitment to presenting yourself at your best. It communicates that you understand the industry's expectations and have taken the time to invest in high-quality visual representation. This attention to detail reflects positively on your overall work ethic and commitment to your dance career.
BUILDING CONNECTIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Headshots and body shots can open doors to new collaborations and opportunities that might otherwise have remained closed. Casting directors, artistic directors, and choreographers rely on portfolios to evaluate potential candidates for their productions. By providing them with a comprehensive collection of headshots and body shots, you increase your chances of catching their attention and being considered for upcoming projects, workshops, or performances.
