Bellydance Graphics for Whitney Suter aka Attar

This is a flyer I designed for Whitney Suter from a photograph I took of her last weekend.
I had the idea for the flyer before the shoot so I had her pose specifically for this.

She hasn't done the final approval ...there may be spelling errors...etc....but this is a proof for her performance and new North Star venue on Dec 12th.

I find it interesting that the color and subject of my painting work has shown up in my photography! but then again I started taking photos when I was doing a lot of figurative paintings as a reference tool. So I guess the going back and forth between the two mediums now is a natural exploration.

Bellydance Photography

I am putting my photographers hat back on for the next 6 months or so.... and I am looking forward to working with Belly dancers again!
I did a mini-shoot with Whitney Suter (Attar) yesterday to come up with ideas for a flyer I am designing for her new dancing venue. Where, I too, will be set up to photograph the dancers and the performance.
Here are the details for the first date..........
