Photography techniques for Bharatanatyam photo shoots and Bharatanatyam photography, in totality, is a skill mastered only by experience, exposure and sensitivity towards the art.
Foto Zone India has been gifted with immense opportunities for over a decade, to cover end to end services like Bharatanatyam photo shoot, Bharatanatyam photography, Arangetram invitation photo shoot, Arangetram event photography and Arangetram video shooting.
Arangetram is a very special occasion for a dancer, where after many years of vigorous training, the dancer goes on stage and does a two hour solo concert in front of a huge audience, artists and art connoisseurs.
Foto Zone has had the good fortune of working with top institutions and teachers for Bharatanatyam like Smt. Urmila Sathyanarayanan, Smt. Anitha Guha, Guru Anita Ratnam, Gurus Renjith and Vijna, The Dhananjayans, The Narasimhacharis, Guru Krishnakumari Narendran to name a few.
The niche point of Foto Zone is that the techniques have evolved from indoor nuanced lighting photography to a variety of modern techniques that better highlight the beauty of poses, hand gestures and facial expressions.
With more than a decade’s experience in conducting Bharatanatyam photo shoots and Arangetram invitation photo shoots, Photographer Santhosh Raj, the brains behind the lens, has weaved magic with novel lighting, settings and multi camera online recording technique, the one that Foto Zone is a proud pioneer of
In multi camera online recording, a live Bharatanatyam performance is recorded live using multiple cameras stationed at various positions across the hall.
Typically, in a performance, on stage, one would view the orchestra, the dancer and receive the audio coming through surround systems.
To record this event professionally, Foto Zone says that multi camera online recording is a must for the following reasons:
1. This helps cover the frontal and the side angles of the stage in totality.
- Special focus is also laid on the orchestra team at the left side of the stage.
- Clear and undisturbed audio can be relayed and recorded. While using multi camera setup with online recording, the audio will directly get recorded in the video recorder. So the audio synchronisation will be perfect during the editing process of the video.
Bharatanatyam photography, which is covering the event through lens while the performance happens, is a test for the photographer’s alertness and anticipation of pauses.
It is recreating the antiquity of the art through modern aesthetics. Many artists from all over the world have appreciated our work and are a regular at Foto Zone.
