Personal Branding Portraits with Fatima

A few weeks ago, Fatima commissioned me to create portraits for her social media platforms and personal branding. She’s a wonderfully talented professional dancer from Argentina and the Director of Ãtmã Nur Dance Studio in her home country. Fatima is currently in Japan as a dancer and teacher at the Latin Cultural Center Tiempo in Fukuoka.
A practitioner of several dance forms, including Arabic Folklore, Bellydance and Dabke, she wanted photos for promotional materials and to showcase her costuming. I immediately knew I wanted to photograph her in a clean, uncomplicated environment with lighting that was dynamic and simple at the same time.
When we met on the shoot day, she was calm, collected and ready to get to work, which made my job a lot easier! A professional performer, she was easy to direct and injected her own movements and style into the poses. We had a great session, and she loved the results! You can see the full shoot at this link.
