Dance Capture Photography features the work of Sherriden McDonald, a dance photographer in Canberra, Australia.

You will find us at various dance events around Canberra, mainly focusing on the social Latin Dance styles of Salsa, Bachata, Samba and  Zouk.  However I also photograph other dance styles and had the pleasure of photographing the Legs Dance Studio concert rehearsals for 2013.

There's so much more to dance photography than just taking the shot, there is the pose, shapes, patterns and lines created by the dancers; the movement of the bodies, hair & clothes; the expressions, emotions and special moments.  We love nothing more than capturing the fun and energy behind the dance - the essence of dance.

Moments we love are where you can see the energy in the photo, where the hair is flying and faces are animated.  

Thanks so much to the following people for providing support and allowing me to photograph their events.
