'Carnival of Venice' School Dance

Continuing the school dance tradition with a more involved theme of a Venetian Masquerade Ball. Here the amazingly talented people that make up the Parent-Teacher group went the extra mile to build a paper-mache boat for the photographic set. The trick was to use the limited space available to create a dramatic and dynamic style of images. Naturally, combining the excellent costumes the children wore with this amazing set-- add some special effects like low-lying fog to cover the ground and some cool lighting techniques and the finale result ends up being something pretty special to behold:


... School dance shoots like this, or as we know them in the US-- usually a Highschool prom-like photoshoot, aren't normally this dynamic. Adding the extra creativity, both from others involved and myself brings about a new and more interesting (also fun) way of capturing cool images!
