Magnificent movement
Andre Pattenden explains how to capture dance and motion in the studio
If I’m not shooting to a brief for a client, I’ll shoot just for kicks – I suspect that’s not unusual for a lot of photographers!
I just love making images. I’m lucky to know lots of creatives, performers and visual artists who are invariably full of ideas – or are at least amenable to mine – so I’ve no shortage of inspiration and projects that keep me constantly busy and trying to improve my craft year on year. Combined with my recent move to InCamera Studios in Bristol, I have ample space and opportunity to experiment without compromise. I get to have a lot of fun and learn new tricks that I can employ into my professional work.
The simplicity in some of my images is primarily because I often have a look, feel or a lighting technique in mind, but little or no budget. When I start planning for a project, I’ll ask my chosen team of collaborators to think it through and offer their perspective. With little money for materials or wardrobe, I’ll usually find cheap or free options to work with, but these restrictions are often where I am motivated and most creative. Dance is an incredibly challenging genre, but one I love to shoot. www.andrepattenden.com
