Harvard Asian American Dance Troupe - Dance Photography

Documenting live dance performance requires split-second timing and deep understanding of movement. For Harvard's Asian American Dance Troupe spring showcase, we captured the full spectrum of their artistic expression, from traditional Asian dance forms to contemporary hip hop and jazz variations.

Working across multiple showings, we documented each of the 16-18 individually choreographed pieces, adapting to constantly changing lighting conditions and the unique energy of each performance style. Our approach focused on capturing both the technical precision of the choreography and the emotional connection between performers and audience.

The challenge with dance photography lies in anticipating peak moments. We position strategically to capture these decisive moments without disrupting the performance flow, delivering images that preserve both the artistry and atmosphere of each piece.
