Dance Shoot with Brendan
I had the opportunity to work with dancer, instructor and choreographer Brendan De Santis in the studio. Brendan has a non-stop motor which I proceeded to abuse by asking him to jump continuously for 2 hours. That said we got some great pictures and I’m really happy with how the images turned out. We’re already planing our next shoot together.
Simple jumps make for great images

- London Dance Photo - I am Mark Ruddick, an experienced photographer working in London, ON. I enjoy photographing dancers and really appreciate the athleticism and artistry involved. Coming from a fight photography background, I have developed my technique to capture rapidly moving subjects at high speed in front of the lens. The resulting instinct for timing fight photography has lead to an ability to capture my subjects at the peak of their motion in an artistic way.
Let me capture the photos that move you.
