A photographer has to have talent and skill to capture the perfect moment. Especially now since all cameras have that split second of mechanical delay. A built in sense of the music and what the dancer will do is needed to be able to capture great photos. Support your community photographers: buy the photos they take of you, acknowledge them in your publicity, and thank them for attending festivals to take your picture!
