Young Dancers - On Going Photo Project

How did this start?
My daughter is a dancer. She also loves to photograph dancers.
Now combine this with her father's photography and image editing enthusiasm. Where does it go to?
Exactly. A joint project. A father and daughter reunion, if you like...

My beautiful daughter in action:

The Process
The work process in this photography project is fascinating for me. The girls choose the locations, the outfits and the staging. At this stage, I am just a consultant (and the driver...). We decided to use only natural light.
Then we start the shootout. Both of us are shooting, using different camera bodies, different lenses and shoot from different angles. This way we don't step on each other's toes... It is a very interesting experience because photography is actually an individual creative process, so how can it be done in couple? Well, with some patience and tolerance it can be done and we found out that it is very-very pleasing.
After we get back home, we check the photos, trash the wrong ones, sort them and post process them.

The First Location
As mentioned, the girls picked up the location - an open field right outside our hometown:














The Shootout
Here are some samples of the photographs. I will post more samples during the week:
