Dance, The rythmic movement of the Body in self expreSSION
Photography By John Crowe
Welcome to Crowe’s Eye Dance photography! We’ve been photographing dance for more than 20 years, starting with color guard and Dance Kaleidoscope. Over the years we have photographed many local companies and schools, such as Butler Ballet, IBT, Dk kids, Kenyetta, Indy Dance Council and for many professional and amateur dancers creating portfolios for submission and for fine art purposes. Our work has been used for advertising, publicity and for fund raising by businesses and non-profit organizations. Working with other artists who understand the discipline of acquiring the needed skills to perform at higher levels is always a joyful collaboration.
This year 2024, we welcome Jaclyn V. Oomkes to our dance team, she is an Indianapolis native, and received her BFA from Butler University in Dance Performance. Immediately following, became a member of Dance Kaleidoscope. She has been teaching classical, modern, ballet, and jazz for over 20 years. She has been a guest teacher/ choreographer for various companies such as Dance Kaleidoscope, Motus Dance Theatre, Libada Dance Company and Kenyetta Dance Company. We are excited to bring Jackie onboard as our dance director and choreographer as we expand our studio services to the dance schools and academies. Having Jaclyn direct our sessions allows for our sessions to be more like a one-on-one class, where she is able to capitalize on the specific strengths of the individual and direct in the language of dance. Her insight and professionalism elevates the level of our dance photography and enriches the experience for our clients.
Schools and Academies
We are here to be a value added asset to your academy or school. Utilizing Crowe’s Eye Dance Photography allows you to offer exceptional professional dance photography sessions to your students. Students that get the opportunity to engage in a studio session as opposed to the traditional portrait pose will receive a boost of confidence as well as the exhilaration of seeing themselves nail it in a production setting with perfect dramatic lighting. We work to build up and encourage each dancer no matter what level they currently dance. At Crowe’s Eye we strive to create works of art that parents will be amazed by and use to affirm their child’s love and ambition for dance, showcasing the art in their home and office. We use a variety of lighting variations throughout the shoot to bring out the best compositions and drama that most portrait day photographers never employ, in addition to this, we also employ creative editing techniques to enhance and create a captivating art ready for the wall in a variety of mediums.
In addition to the value you pass on to your students, your studio will enjoy the benefits of partnering with Crowe’s Eye by receiving invaluable marketing content that is on par with professional ad agency material.
