10 Dance Photoshoot Prompts
Cherry Blossoms
If you’re fortunate enough to live in a location with trees that blossom pink and white flowers in the spring, take advantage!
Rain
Of course, you can’t think of spring without thinking of rain. How creative can you get with a dance photo that incorporates rain, rain boots, umbrellas, etc.?
Birds
This could be really fun. Birds come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. They all have different quirks too. How can you represent them using dance in a photo?
Spring Cleaning
What does “clean” mean to you? Symmetrical lines? Monochrome colors? Soap suds?
Spring Harvest
Warm weather means fresh fruits and veggies. How can you take a dance photo that represents a beautiful, delicious spring harvest? What seasonal fruits would you incorporate? Get fun with colors here, too.
Flowers
Whether it be a bouquet of flowers, a field of flowers in a garden, a flower crown, or posing like a flower, you can come up with some pretty amazing photos using this prompt.
Clouds
Get into those angles! Point your camera upward so the clouds are your backdrop as you do a jumping pose, or represent clouds and the sky another way.
Fog & Dew
You may need to wake up pretty early for this one, but fog, dew, and after-rain mist makes for a dreamy photoshoot opportunity.
Streams
The gentle, relaxing, continuous flow of a peaceful stream can be beautifully represented through dance. Let’s see what you can come up with!
Insects & Animals
Spring is all about the awakening of hibernating animals. What insects and animals inspire you to get creative? Whether it be bears, bees, ladybugs, squirrels, or bunnies, we’re eager to see how you represent it in your photos.
