After years of on-location shoots and renting out scarce dance studio space for my dance photography, I finally realized my dream of opening my own studio space in 2022. Because my passion is capturing and freezing the movements of talent like dancers, gymnasts and musicians, I knew I wanted the centerpiece of my studio to be a safe Harlequin sprung dance floor and my beautiful 20’w x 10’h Hale canvas backdrop. This versatile backdrop has been a great size for capturing movement of individuals as well as small groups, but is a bit of a beast to set up and teardown.
With the flexibility to offer clients longer creative sessions, I also wanted to offer more than one background option during these sessions, but at the same time I really needed to take advantage of my permanent space and eliminate the time-consuming and back-breaking element of constantly setting up and tearing down large backdrops.
