Photographer Laura Breece is quickly gaining a reputation for being one of the finest performing arts
photographers in the midwest. She has photographed ballet and modern dance companies, theatre groups, and
individual performers with an unusual passion and accuracy. Her work captures nuances of movement and
lighting, balancing those variables to create memorable images.
Shooting live performance is a unique niche, one not typically pursued by traditional photographers. The double
challenges of capturing movement in a darkened theatre, with no additional lighting, requires a steady hand, clear
understanding of available light photography, and the right equipment. However, the artistry comes from her
over 20 years of dance and theatre training. In-depth understanding of the human form and classical dance
technique helps her create the breathtaking images she is known for.
